Information from author: Okay, so first off, it's been a while since I wrote a fanfiction.. Second, like the summary said, this story is based off prpldragon's (from Tumblr and deviantART) AU of Nindroid!Jay. I completely adored the AU and asked for permission to write a fanfiction based on it. I do hope you enjoy this story! I am also now featuring the date at the top of each chapter. I don't know how often I will actually update, with finals coming up in a month. If you ask me, when an author updates and you haven't been up-to-date, or the author decides to post more than one chapter a day, it's hard to figure out where you left off. I figured leaving the date of which a new chapter was posted, would be convenient.

Recap: The ninja and the gang are currently staying with Jay's parents, Ed and Edna. Of course yesterday's visit from the nindroids left the junkyard a bit ravaged, well at least more than usual. Also, Jay just found about Nya's issue involving him and Cole. Pixal was repaired thanks to Zane's donation of half of his heart. Not to mention the gang is still struck in awe from the discovery of Sensei Wu's transformation.

The room was silent. Lloyd and Garmadon were still gone, attempting to escape the Overlord. Ed and Edna were out in the front yard trying to tidy things up, while all the ninja, Pixal, and Nya sat in the living room trying to gather their thoughts together. They had all been through a lot that day. They wished the nightmare that they called a life could just end already. Longing for the moment when they would awaken, and rise to find themselves back home.

"Sensei Wu is going to be fine. Like Misako said, he's tough," Cole assured. Slight looks were exchanged.

"Exactly, that's why he's wired up with gadgets and evil," Jay growled. Cole looked over to his "friend" and glared down upon him. Both had been taunting each other for hours on end. The earth and lightning ninja haven't exactly been meeting eye-to-eye lately.
"Look, what exactly do we do next? I mean, you are the team leader," Jay added, the sound of annoyance ringing through his voice.

"Well, Jay, I was thinking perhaps we can escape this dump you called a home and- Never mind. Sorry Jay, I didn't mean to offend your parents' home. It was generous of them to let us stay. I just want to-

"Go back to Ninjago City? Live peacefully back at the academy without a single worry? Then are you going to marry Nya and live your life fullest to your heart's content?" Jay remarked.

"Can't you talk about this later?" Nya sighed.

"Oh, like you're any more innocent? The least you could have done was told me how you felt!" He spat as he got out of his seat and slammed the door behind him.

Cole tried to focus his mind on more important matters. He was the team leader, but he didn't know what to lead his team to their next task. Was there even a next task? Of course they still had to shut down and erase the Overlord using the Technoblades, but how? Somehow part of the nindroid army is up and running, a mysterious cloaked figure arrives, and Sensei Wu is now on the side of evil. Not to mention the stress of Jay, after the blow up between himself, Jay, and Nya, things are only going to grow more difficult. Why couldn't Cole figure out what do next? Why couldn't he simply find the answer? Why did life have to get more stressful each day? Cole felt a gentle touch on his hand, he looked up to see a concerned face it was Nya's. Her dark, chocolate eyes melted into his. He gave a slight grin; it was like a guilty pleasure. Nya was Jay's girl. But- Well that's about it. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't really help himself.

-Outside-

How could Cole do this to me? He knows Nya and I were d- you know? A thing? But no, he couldn't keep away! What does Nya even see in him? Sure he's strong! But what else is there? Jay thought to himself.

He sighed.

"ARRGG! Who does he think he is?!" Jay shouted, as he slammed his fists to the ground. Tears streamed down his face. Why did this have to happen to him? Now? Electricity sparked from his hands, and surged through the ground. Energy flowed through the circuits running through the ground. Running to the junkyard's power source. The lights went out.

"Aye? What's going on? Ed?"

"I don't know dear.. Perhaps a shortage?"

Jay opened his eyes, and was in disbelief at what lied in front of him. Markings resembling the shape of streaks of lightning which led to the trailer. "Did I cause this?"He muttered to himself and opened his clenched fist. His palms were red and blistered. What exactly did he do? How exactly did he do it?

"Jay?" His father asked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Is everything o-

A short chapter, sorry, but the way I want to continue the story needs a cliffhanger! ^^; But don't worry! I'll post the next chapter later today!

And my goodness, I am rusty. It's been a year or so since I've actually wrote a fanfiction. Nor were my older fanfictions decent! Ughhh…

Anyways! Tell me how I'm doing! What am I doing that's good? What can I do to improve my writing? More detail on the events? More of the characters' thoughts? Oh! I also wanted to mention I will be changing my username here soon! But I will keep it for a few days, that way people can recognize me a bit more!
