Wait a second, let me catch my breath

Remind me how it feels to hear your voice

Your lips are movin', I can't hear a thing

Livin' life as if we had a choice

In the middle of traffic, in Cole's Earth Driller, the Ninja sat.

Cole honked, with (Y/n) covering her ears.

''Oh, come on. You gotta be kidding.'' He said, annoyed.

''We were supposed to be there 30 minutes ago,'' Zane said, looking at P.I.X.A.L 

''This thing has an enormous drill on it,'' P.I.X.A.L replied. ''Can we not go under them?'' 

Cole looked at P.I.X.A.L. ''Oh. Can we? Please?'' He asked desperately. He then flicked a switch and the drill began to spin.

''I do not think the city would appreciate that. They just finished rebuilding this freeway.'' Zane answered.

''Aah. We're so late. And I can see the harbour right there.'' Cole complained. (Y/n) looked over at him, before looking at the others.

P.I.X.A.L, becoming impatient said: ''That's it. I'm getting out.'' She pressed a button on the side to open the hatch.

She hopped out, doing cool flips and moves over the vehicles.

Zane followed, doing the same.

Cole looked out from the Earth Driller.

He got out and didn't do a cool flip, instead, landing in the tray of a truck. ''Hyah. Unh. Hey, guys, wait up. My foot's asleep.''

(Y/n) stopped, seeing him unable to catch up with the others. ''I'll keep pace with you, okay?'' 

He nodded, seeing Zane do a cool flip. He then closed the hatch of the Earth Driller with his keys.

Cole groaned as he walked, and (Y/n) walked with him, staying by his side.

Trying to jump onto a car, he instead bumped into it. ''Ow. Come on, foot.'' Cole said, rubbing his head.  ''Unh. Coming through.'' He then pulled the car door open, sliding through the backseat of the car.

''Sorry. Ninja business.'' Cole apologised. The boy in the front wearing headphones looked at him, surprised. His father in the driver's seat watched as (Y/n) saluted, before going out the other door.

''Uh, Dad, did-did you see those ninjas?'' His son asked.

''They just ducked through our car.'' The father replied.

Cole wobbled along the road, with (Y/n) walking beside him.

Feeling his legs start to warm up, he sped up, grunting. ''Yes, finally.'' 

He did a cool flip over a truck while (Y/n) did the same.

Going past the yellow and black striped tape, the policeman shouted out after them. ''Hey, you can't go over there. The road is closed.'' 

Cole turned himself while running. ''Sorry. It's an emergency.'' 

''Oh, uh... I didn't know.'' The policeman replied. ''Nevermind. Good luck, guys.'' 

Zane did spinjitzu and created an ice slide for them to go down.

Cole and (Y/n) were the last to slide down it, before stopping on the road. He whistled, making a taxi stop. 

''To the harbour as fast as possible,'' P.I.X.A.L told the taxi driver. 

''And keep the vehicle velocity within the permitted speed limit in a densely populated area,'' Zane said as Cole hopped on, grabbing  (Y/n)'s hand and helping her onto the taxi.

---

Zane, P.I.X.A.L, Cole and (Y/n) got off the taxi cab as they arrived at the harbour, with the crowd murmuring after waiting for so long.

They ran onto the platform, in front of the crowd. (Y/n) looked nervously at the camera, gulping.

Behind them, was a huge veil that was red and gold.

''We're live from Ninjago Harbour, where several of the ninjas have just arrived to witness the unveiling of a new ship being presented to them as a gift to the mayor.'' Gayle Gossip said, looking at the camera. 

''Thank you all for coming.'' The Commissioner said. ''I'm not much for speeches, but the mayor asked me to say a few words. Not really sure why the mayor couldn't do this herself. Never around, really. It's a riddle to me how she got elected in the first place. And the funding of the police department is--'' 

He cleared his throat. ''It gives me great pleasure to present this ship from the people of Ninjago City to the ninja,'' He looked at the present ninja, who turned to him and smiled. ''in thanks for their years of dedicated service.'' 

The crowd cheered, clapping their hands.

''I wonder what it looks like.'' P.I.X.A.L wondered.

''Oh, I hope its a tri-master like the Bounty,'' Zane said.

''Don't get your hopes up,'' Cole said. ''Whatever it is, it won't compare.'' 

''Unless it's an exact copy.'' (Y/n) said to Cole.

''You're right about that. The Bounty was--'' Zane started, but was interrupted as the red and gold veil fell down, revealing an exact copy of the Bounty.

The crowd gasped, and (Y/n) chuckled at the other's reactions. ''I told you so...''

The crowd cheered and applauded as the Bounty flew a bit into the air.

''Yeah,'' Cole said with a smile. ''(Y/n) was right.'' 

''It looks just like--'' Zane said

''It is the Bounty. They rebuilt it.'' Cole interrupted.

The Commissioner laughed softly.

Cole walked up to him, with (Y/n) beside him. 

''Sir, I-- I don't know what to say.'' Cole stuttered, smiling.

''You've given us back our ship,'' Zane said happily.

''And you've given us back our city.'' The Commissioner replied with a smile.

''How did you do it?'' Zane asked. ''The Bounty was completely destroyed.'' 

''We were able to obtain a copy of the original blueprints from a private collector.'' He answered, looking over at Mother Doomsday.

''Who wants them back in mint condition.''  Mother Doomsday said, crossing his arms. 

''I wish the others could see this,'' P.I.X.A.L said, and (Y/n) nodded.

''Where are they?'' Cole asked.

''Jay said he had something important to take care of,'' Zane answered. 

''What could be more important than this?'' Cole asked.

The Bounty was parked at the top of the mountain, at the monastery. 

The ninja stood around, before seeing Wu open the door.

He stepped out.

''How is she?'' Lloyd asked.

''Will she be okay?'' Nya asked.

Wu closed the door, holding a teapot. ''I have given her a powerful healing potion. She will recover.'' He answered. ''As will Firstbourne, though it will take time.'' 

Cole looked concerned at his words. ''Did she say what happened?'' Cole asked. (Y/n) put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

''She said... a darkness swept over the Realm of Oni and Dragon.'' He answered. 

(Y/n) felt the other memory of an Oni flash before her eyes.

A day before the destruction of her village, (Y/n) sat, the crowd of kids cheering as they played. 

She looked at the boulder she climbed over and saw the Oni. A kid groaned as the ball went over the boulder, and she stopped him, before climbing over it herself. The kids watched as she hopped down, disappearing from sight.

''Don't be afraid, (Y/n), don't be afraid.'' She told herself, stopping when she saw the ball. No strange, scary being of darkness waited.

She picked up the ball and was about to cheer to the other kids happily when she turned around, to see it.

The familiar demon-like being was surrounded by some sort of dark smoke, that was cold and bitter.

Backing away slowly, she couldn't talk. Her fear was like tape, keeping her from making a complete sentence.

Finally regaining control of her legs, she dropped the ball, the Oni watching her as she scrambled over the rock, and disappeared from view. 

She shook her head, putting her hands on her head. Cole looked at her. ''Are you okay?'' 

''No, no I'm not.'' She replied. ''I just had another memory.'' 

Cole hugged her tightly, rubbing her back. ''I'm right here.'' He said soothingly.

(Y/n) returned the hug, and the two stood there, in their embrace.

Hearing the others run to the Bounty, they followed, with Cole behind her.

''No way. Look at this thing'' Kai said from the Bounty.

The Ninja ran into control.

''Wow,'' Nya said.

''Whoa,'' Jay said, in awe.

''Ha. This looks like the old Bounty.'' Kai said happily.

''They did a wonderful job,'' Nya replied.

''Let's see what she's capable of. Full speed ahead.'' Lloyd said. Zane pushed the lever. 

Instead of going forwards, the Bounty went backwards, the total opposite direction of where they wanted to go.

The ninja yelled at the sudden movement, falling to the floor. 

Zane pulled the lever into neutral.

''I can already tell this will be a problem.'' (Y/n) said.

''What was that?'' Nya asked.

''Forward, Zane. Not backwards.'' Lloyd said to the nindroid.

''Someone must have wired the lever wrong,'' Zane replied, taking off the sticker and putting it the other way around. He then stuck it the right way around.

He pulled the lever, and the Bounty went forward.

---

While the two were on the Bounty, heading towards Ninjago City, (Y/n) had been given back Remo, her pet snake, by Kai, who said he'd found the snake in his room.

''Oh, he keeps disappearing.'' (Y/n) said, letting the snake roam around. Cole watched, from his bed.

Suddenly, Remo literally disappeared into thin air, leaving Cole confused.

''He's special.'' (Y/n) told him. Remo reappeared at her feet.

Cole was surprised. ''H-how?'' 

''I think he's related to Anacondrai and snakes, he could be the missing link.'' (Y/n) answered, letting Remo wrap lightly around her arm.

He watched as Remo played with a medium-sized box, before using his tail to lift it above his head.

Oh, I have... plans... >:)

Also, every time I type commissioner, I think of Commissioner Gordon.

I wonder why those Oni were in (Y/n)'s village? (A question for you to try and answer)

Seriously, I am laughing as I imagine what'll happen next. Be scared.
