They will stop at nothing to get their hands on the elemental power of lightning.

Chapter 1 -

“Come on, Jay! Cole won fair and square.” Kai admitted, making Jay huff out some anger at his terrible loss. “Yeah, admit it Jay. Cole’s better, you’re not the best at video games after all.” Lloyd teased him too, with a smirk on his face, which made all the others laugh under their breaths too.

Nya laughed while walking to Jay’s side, putting her arms on his shoulders,”Come on.” She called them all, “Zane should almost be done with dinner.”

Jay smiled once she spoke, feeling a little calmer at her words, maybe thinking that it wasn’t that serious after all. But he couldn’t take the loss, he’d have to prove himself better another time.

They left the common room and all made their way to the dining room, where when they arrived, Zane had made a collection of different things to put onto everyone’s plates. There was rice, chicken, many selections of other meats, pasta and lots of different sauces. Even a cake in the middle for dessert.

“Wow! Zane, you didn’t have to put this much effort in for us.” Nya seemed shocked, though they should all be used to the effort he would put into them by now.

They all sat down, happy to eat after a long day of training and that rather stressful video game tournament. “Tomorrow, we’ll rematch.” Jay eyed Cole, which caused Lloyd to laugh under his breath a little.

They all began to talk about their day, like the funny moments from training, or who beat who in the sparring and what they’ll be doing the Wednesday coming, as it’s their day off.

Their busy conversations were interrupted by a loud bang coming from outside, around where the door would be. However, it didn’t sound like a knock, more like someone had rammed right into it.

“Jay, you’re closest, go see what it is.” Kai told him, to which he sighed deeply and got up to see what it was.

Once he got to the door, he opened it a little cautiously as the bang from before was loud, “Hey, um—“ he said as he peeked outside, but he couldn’t see anyone until his eyes looked down for a moment.

A woman, with long blonde hair that seemed to be slightly stained with dirt, hunched over on the ground, struggling to get up.

“I- oh my gosh!” He opened the door wide, trying to grab the woman, but she was quite heavy for her small size, a lot of muscle which made her seem like a fighter.

But what looked to be a gi of some sorts was distorted and less identifiable than what it should be. It had rips in a lot of places, like one across her chest, and all scattered throughout her arms and legs. “Cuts… what happened?” He whispered to himself, he even saw more on her face.

He managed to find some strength and pick her up to run inside, “Guys!” He shouted, he didn’t think they answered until they all came running out when he was already half way down the hallway to the dining room.

“Oh my gosh what happened? Who is it?” Nya asked concerned, going to grab her from Jay as he seemed to be struggling to keep her up in his arms.

Nya was always stronger than Jay, so she could get her secure in her arms and make their way to the med bay with everyone swiftly. “I don’t know, she was just- collapsed on the floor!”

Everyone turned their heads to the mysterious woman when she groaned slightly, opening her eyes just a hunch to the point where most wouldn’t notice.

“No-my-my…Jay…” she said quietly, her words unclear, she tried to say more but she collapsed again, seconds before she was placed onto a bed.

Zane began tending to her, as the rest of them surrounded her, concerned at what had happened to have injured her like this and who she even was.

Pixal came from her room, noticing the chaos and she gasped when she saw the state of this woman who she’d never seen before. She went to Zane.

“She has multiple lacerations in her arms, legs, face and chest. Someone needs to apply pressure to the wound on her chest.” Jay stepped up, grabbing a hand towel that sat on the bedside table and putting pressure down.

“Will she be okay?” Nya asked.

Zane nodded, receiving a sigh of relief from everyone,”She just has some small lacerations across her limbs, minus the larger one across her chest, I also think she may have hit her head, prompting her collapse. But she should be awake soon.”

A silence fell after Zane told them of her state, and Zane continued to work on the woman, wrapping her up in bandages or just cleaning the smaller cuts. He wrapped up the wound on he chest in many thick layers of bandages, which stopped the bleeding enough to the point where she didn’t need stitches.

Once Zane finished his work and had her settled into the bed, one question rose up between the six ninja.

“Who is she?” Lloyd questioned,”Do any of you recognise her?” This promoted a few seconds of humming and tapping their feet to try and think of a time any of them have seen this person, but no one could.

However, Jay thought for a little longer than the others, feeling that there was something oddly familiar about this woman, like they shared something together.

Something felt…off.

He hummed and walked over to the bed and looked at her from the side,”I don’t know guys- she feels…familiar?” He observed the gi on her body, a dark deep blue, it was relatively plain, no extra gear to match what looks like a ninja outfit.

The only decoration were some lightning strikes, it seemed like, that ran from the bottom to the middle of the top of her gi.

Suddenly, as Jay touched her shoulder to analyse her clothing more, she opened her eyes and groaned. She looked around the room and held herself up slightly by her lower arm.

She looked tired, exhausted from what seemed like a battle. But who could she have been fighting?

As she looked around, her eyes half drooped down, where if you looked from a different angle they would basically be closed, she breathed quite heavily.

“Are you okay?” Pixal scurried to her side and helped her up, grabbing a pillow from the collection of them stored under the bed in the medical room. She put it behind her, still using a hand to prop her up, trying not to disturb the wound on her chest.

“I-“ she huffed, eyes suddenly wide from shock.”Where is he?” Everyone looked around, confused at what she could mean.

“ Who are you looking for? Are you okay?” Kai questioned her, prompting her to wave her head around more, like she needs something desperately.

That was until her head came to a stop and she looked directly at Jay.

“Jay.” She said weakly, with a small smile on her face,”My son.”
