Okay, so this is an older story that I began writing shortly after I finished watching Rebooted, which at the time was my favorite season.

The chapters are a lot shorter than you'd expect from me, and that's because they're fine without any edits, no matter how short they are.

The original version in Google Docs has different fonts for the different characters, but they won't show up here. Dang it. XD

Well, I hope y'all enjoy this! And since I've got most of the beginning parts written out, I'll be able to update this quickly for a while.

Jay slipped through the darkened streets of New Ninjago City. In his dark blue Techno gi, he was almost impossible to spot in the inky blackness of night

Unfortunately, he was almost impossible to spot. A Nindroid sentry, hidden with a cloaking device, had seen him. The Nindroid managed to tail Jay for three alley-lengths, then got close enough to sling a tracking device onto Jay's foot. Then he let him go.

Once Jay was out of earshot, the sentry sent a video report to the Overlord, now the Golden Master. "I have tagged one of the Ninja, Master," he reported.

"Which one?" the Golden Master hissed.

"The one in blue, designated Jay," the sentry said.

"Excellent," the Overlord cackled. "General Cryptor, set all security cameras in the city on him, then send a security squad to give him a proper welcome to my new domain."

The Nindroid general saluted, then repeated the orders to his troops stationed in their headquarters. They scurried to do his bidding. "If I may be so bold," Cryptor said, "why do you take such an interest in this Jay? I have encountered him before, and he is not as much of a problem as Lloyd or Cole."

"Because his mind is divided," the Overlord replied smoothly. "After my little trick with the 'Perfect Match' console, he feels enmity toward Cole, and he also worries that the girl Nya cares more for Cole than for him. I will use those feelings to my advantage."

"Excellent plan, Master!"

The Overlord cackled gleefully. "I know. I know."
