"Hiya! Take that!"

"Oh, yeah? Well, take that!"

"Have some of this!"

"Whoa! Hey, watch it! That thing's sharp!"

The sounds of the others training outside woke Jason from his sleep. He groaned in annoyance, he was definitely not a morning person. He looked to the other two beds in the room and saw that they were empty. He sighed as he forced himself out of bed and get ready.

He happened to glance at a clock on the wall and saw that it was now midday. "Geez. Why didn't anyone wake me?" Jason wondered. He looked towards the other two beds and sighed. "Some friends."

After putting on comfortable clothes, Jason made his way to the kitchen. He had explored the monastery after they got settled in so he easily found it.

He opened the sliding door and saw Crystal sitting on the table with Jia beside her. Both girls were looking up in awe at the images of creatures that were being projected by the circular device that the descendants had agreed they call the 'info disk' (Kyle's idea).

He walked pass them and got himself a bowl of cereal. After pouring milk, he sat across from the two girls, who still hadn't acknowledged him.

"Wow! So that's what Serpentine looks like," Jia said while pointing at an image of two blue humanoid snakes, one had legs and the other had a long tail instead of legs. Beside the image was a word. Hypnobrai, it said and below it were more information about the creature.

"That's just one of the five tribes." Crystal said as she read some of the text. "It says here that Hypnobrai can hypnotise people and can see through their victim's eyes."

"That's cool," Jason commented. The two girls practically jumped, only realizing that the redhead was sitting across from them.

"Oh. Jason, good morning." Crystal greeted. "Have you had a good nights rest?"

Jason nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah," he mumbled before looking between the two girls. "But someone could've woken me up. I wanted to try that Spinjitzu move. Or maybe the Cyclondo."

"Airjitzu," Jia corrected her brother with an amused smile. "Also, we told Kyle to wake you up, but he said you looked so peaceful so we let you sleep in. It's actually the first peaceful sleep you've had for months."

Jia lowered her voice when she said the last part, but Jason still heard her. And he frowned at that.

"I'm perfectly able to sleep peacefully at night, Jia." The ginger snapped.

"Don't deny it, bro," Jia snapped back. "You and I both know that you haven't got a decent night of rest ever since-"

Jia was cut off mid sentence when they heard shouting from outside. And it wasn't the witty quips the others were shouting earlier.

"That doesn't sound good," Crystal muttered before standing up and making her way outside with the two Walker siblings behind her.

The three was greeted with an unusual sight.

Frost was being held back by Leyla and Ember while Kyle was being held back by Raven. But what surprised the three were the multiple scorch marks and shards of ice scattered on the ground.

"Lemme go! I swear if I get my hands on that piece of scrap, he'll be sorry!" Kyle was yelling as he struggled against Raven's grip. How the black haired girl was holding back a guy that's taller than her was interesting.

"The only scrap here is your mouth. So why don't you just shut up?!" Frost shouted back. He wasn't struggling as much as Kyle, probably because he was a robot and he didn't want to hurt Leyla and Ember.

"What in Ninjago is going on here?" Jia demanded as she, Crystal and Jason approached the others.

"Why don't you ask scrap metal over there? He started it." Kyle growled, glaring daggers at the younger descendant.

"You shot fire at me!" Frost snapped.

"But you attacked first!"

"You verbally abused me!"

"You were gonna freeze me!"

"So what? You're fire, you can free yourself!"

"But it'll still be cold! I can feel things, unlike you! And I'm also talking about your stupid artificial emotions!"

Ember can't believe what she was hearing. "Whoa! Hey! Let's not have that!" She quickly said, not wanting any more arguments.

"Why not? He's just a stupid robot with stupid fake emotions! He can't really feel anything and he never will!"

"Enough!" Crystal's voice rang loud and clear throughout the courtyard, making the others flinch.

There was silence. Kyle glared daggers at the male android, while the ice descendant had his head lowered. The tension was so thick that one could cut it with a knife.

Finally, the silence was broken by Frost.

"Just because someone is different from you, doesn't mean you should look down on them." He said, his voice quiet as he lifted his head a bit to give the older boy a hard glare. "I, at least, have more humanity than you."

With that, the green eyed android shrugged off the girls that held him before turning to the monastery gates and running out without another word.

Leyla blinked as it took her a while to process what happened. "Wait! Frost!" She called as she ran after him, with Jia and Ember following her.

After the three younger girls were gone, Raven reluctantly let go of Kyle. The brunet massaged his forearm where Raven had unknowingly held tighter than needed.

Kyle was about to comment on it, when his head was jerked to the left and he felt pain on his right cheek.

He instantly held his burning cheek and it didn't take long for him to realize that Raven had slapped him.

"What was that for?!" He demanded.

"Oh, I don't know, let me think," Raven pretended to think about something before giving the fire descendant a glare. "How about the way you acted like a total jerk! Ever thought about that?!"

Crystal stepped closer to Kyle, her icy glare sending chills down the brunet's spine. "Please give me one good reason why I shouldn't punch you hard right here, right now." She said.

Kyle was about to reply when a fist connected with his jaw and he fell back. The two girls turned and saw Jason holding his fist with his other hand and was hissing in pain.

"Why need a reason if what he did was reason enough?" Jason asked rhetorically.

"Jason! What the blaze, dude?!" Kyle asked while holding his jaw.

The ginger haired teen sent his cousin a glare, his scarred eye making him look more intimidating.

"This isn't the time for one of your episodes, Kyle," the lightning descendant said with a growl. "The whole world is in trouble and we're the only ones who has a chance of saving it. We don't need anything keeping us apart."

Jason walked closer to his cousin until he was just a several meters away. "We all have our differences, I know that, but if we let those keep us from reaching our goal then we're doomed."

Kyle was silent for a moment, pondering on his cousin's words. But before he can say anything, there was a loud explosion coming from the stairs that led to the monastery.

A shadow flew over them a few moments later and the four older teens looked up just in time to see some sort of airship flying back towards them.

It took Kyle a second to realize what was happening, but when he did he wasted no time in shouting, "We're under attack!"

《¤》

"Hey, Frost, you okay?" Ember asked as she and the other two girls approached the android, who was sitting on the bridge that connected the two mountains with his feet dangling on the edge.

"What do you think?" The ice descendant snapped. He realized what he said and he quickly mumbled, "Sorry."

Ember and Leyla sat on either side of the android while Jia remained standing behind them. Silence fell upon the four young teens.

"Why does he hate me?" Frost suddenly asked. Jia made a sound of confusion.

"Why does Kyle hate me?" Frost asked again, staring at the see of clouds a few meters below them. "I know we've just met a day ago, but why does he act like I ruined his life?"

"That's cuz you did," Ember said absentmindedly. Leyla stared at her with wide eyes.

"Ember! How could you say that!" The blonde girl scolded.

Ember raised her hands in defense. "I meant that it was advanced techs that ruined his life." She quickly said. The three other descendants stared at her.

"How'd that happen?" Jia asked. Before anyone can say anything more, Frost raised his hand and hushed the three girls.

"You guys hear that?" He asked in a quiet voice.

"Hear what? All I hear is the wind." Ember said. "We're at the top of a mountain for crying out loud!"

Leyla narrowed her eyes as she strained her ears to hear what Frost was probably hearing. She picked up on the faint sound of whirring.

"Is that...." Leyla began to ask but was cut off when Frost pushed the three girls away from the bridge's edge.

"Look out!" He shouted. A few seconds later, there was an explosion that came from what seemed like a laser blast.

Jia stumbled backwards and her foot slipped on the edge of the bridge. She screamed as she fell, but Ember was able to grab her hand and managed to pull her up to safety. Leyla instantly took out her weapon while Frost scanned for where the blast came from.

An airship suddenly emerged from below the sea of clouds. A person was sitting on the cockpit but the young teens were unable to see what he looked like due to the mask and red straw hat he was wearing.

As the airship flew around the monastery, Frost took the opportunity to scan the person.

"The pilot is male, 22 years of age." The android informed the three girls. He looked over his shoulder to look at them. "And I sense he's not here for a friendly visit."
