Written by NinjagoCanonLover and TannaElizabeth

As the dance ended, Celine’s gaze flicked around the room, something felt off. A swish of fabric caught her eye in one of the doorways.
“I half to go,” She slipped out of Cole’s arms and towards the hallway. Just as she was entering the hall, another movement drew her attention.
She gasped as she noticed the all too familiar golden wings hovering across the ballroom.
“What is she doing here?” Celine breathed. Deciding to deal with the Queen Vania later, Celine continued down the hallway after Kaia.
She followed her down the hall and into a side room. Kaia was rummaging under cushions and pillows on an overstuffed couch when Celine found her.
“What are you doing?” Celine questioned.Kaia startled at the sound of Celine’s voice, “Oh! It’s just you.”
Are you looking for something?” Celine pressed, walking over to Kaia.
“Nothing,” Kaia mumbled.
“Clearly you’re looking for something or you wouldn’t be rooting through stuff in the palace,” Celine stated, crossing her arms.
“Celine, I don't wanna you worry, but I have to told you this... Dead-eye visited me in my dreams last night and I had to accept his offer to bring Akita back to life.”
Celine was stunned, “You made an agreement with the villain? How could you?!”
“Celine, I did it to save Akita! You have to understand!” Kaia pleaded.
“Oh I understand all right!” Celine shot back, “I should have known you would follow in your brother’s footsteps!”
With that, she ran out of the room.
Kaia called after her, “Celine! Wait!,as Ceiline was gone Kaia said"you know what? curse that diamond!"and and was about to Trow it on ground but than suddenly someones arm stopped her do to so.turns out it's project 2.0 the kaia copy"you thought i didn't know?it isn't first time someone tries to betray Dead-eye like that "
As Kaia looked shoked so she asks"how did you get here?"project 2.0 says"isn't it obvious?were one and same Kaia.you know that pretty well.i know you're every move every thought every fear.look in that mirror and tell me what you see?"
As Kaia moved carefully to mirror and she saw herself but
With red stripe on her eyes similar to Harumi's.wearing black clothing with red stripes"is that.....me...?" Kaia Asked
"Yes it is.its you taking Dead-Eye's place  1.and tell me Kaia.havent you always wanted to be better villian than you're brother?i see hunger in You're eyes Kaia.hunger for power"
As Kaia looked at mirror she says

As Celine re-entered the ballroom, she scanned the room for the other ninja. Noticing where the ninja were, Celine began to make her way towards them, but she stopped dead in her steps. A few yards in front of her, Vania was standing with Cole, flirting with him! He seemed disinterested, but the sight of it sent a shock through Celine’s body.
“Could this night get worse?” She murmured.
Shoving her way through the crowd, Celine stumbled to another side room and sank to the floor.
“Perhaps now you will reconsider my offer?” A voice echoed through the room. Celine jumped up, her gaze whipping around the room, anxious to find where the voice was coming from. Inches from her face, something began to materialize.
The sight of her copy cause Celine to yelp, “How are you here? Skylor destroyed you!”
“How doesn’t matter,” her copy answered, “it’s why. You know you want revenge. Just give in.”
“I would never!” Celine answered, turning away from Wraith.
“You’re weak!” Wraith spat, “you need me. You need my master!”
“No!” Celine shouted, her voice strangely louder than she remembered. The copy seemed to shake with the sound of Celine voice.
“Listen to yourself,” Wraith went on, “you have no control, no powers. If you join Dead-Eye, you could that and so much more. Admit it, you’re weaker than the other ninja. You know you need a power.”
Celine reached for a knife she had tucked in a thigh holster under her dress, “No. I. Don’t!” Celine shouted, whirling and stabbing at Wraith with her knife. The copy gasped as the knife plunged into her chest.
She began to turn to stone from her chest out, “What have you done!” She wailed, “You’re destroying your only way to get what you want!”
“I already have everything I want,” Celine answered haughtily. With that, she turned and walked out of the room.
She stepped back into the ballroom and headed straight for Cole, who was standing uncomfortably near Vania. Her mouth was visibly running even from where Celine stood. She rolled her eyes and marched up to Cole, looping her arm through his, “Hello Vania,” she spoke, her voice sickeningly sweet.
“Oh, it’s you,” Vania remarked distastefully.
“Oh yes,” Cole jumped in, relief washing over him at Celine’s presence, “you remember my girlfriend, Celine?” He asked innocently.
“Of course,” Vania seethed. “Come Hailmar,” she remarked shortly, and floated away stiffly.
