Hey there! Some of my updates might come later on because of school, too much homework and studying, high school is rough. Anyway I thought of this a couple days ago, I wasn't gonna write a one-shot, but I guess it got the best of me. XP I hope you all enjoy! I can't believe no one has wrote something like this.
Disclaimer- I don't own ninjago, nor the lyrics to the song. The song belongs to Imagine Dragons
Jay lay wide awake in his bed. It was night, everyone was sleeping, except for the storm that was brewing outside. The thunder roared across the sky like a hungry lion, and the lightning light up the sky, a beautiful sight it was to our blue ninja. His chest heaved every time lightning struck. He felt his element surge through his veins, it was as if his elemental power was telling him to join the storm.
Two years ago he had joined the storm, danced, sang, and even slept outside while it was storming. Kai and Zane had eventually caught him and told the others who voted on if he should stop. Everyone voted yes, especially Wu because he was tired of having Jay fall asleep during training. He stopped, but everyone kept a good eye on him from that point on.
Jay growled and shoved his face into his blue and white striped pillow. All he wanted was to sleep, sleep like a normal person. He loudly hummed a tune, trying to get ride of the thunder, but he didn't succeed. After two minutes he gave in and chucked his pillow hard against his wall."I hate storms." He hissed, reaching for his glass on his nightstand and walking to his bathroom.
The blue ninja dug into his mirror cabinet and found a small bottle of sleeping pills."Perfect." A smile formed on his face as he took the last two out of the smooth bottle. He filled up his glass and shut the mirror door. He stared at himself for a minute. Dark circles could be seen under his electric blue eyes, his hair was all messed up. Sticking this way and that way, like Kai's.
He got ready to take them, right as he opened his mouth a loud crack of lightning and thunder scared him, making the pills fly out of his hand."NO!" He shrieked, sadly his ninja reflexes weren't fast enough to catch them, they went down the sink drain. Jay ground and hit his head on the sink's marble counter."Are. You. Kidding. Me." He groaned, no he was never going to sleep.
Another crack of lightning made him jump, but this time an idea sparked in his head."Maybe this time..." He rushed out of his bathroom and to his dresser. Jay opened the third drawer and pull out a blue pair of pants, it was half of his gi. He slipped his shorts off and stepped into the blue fabric. He pulled them up and grabbed a black leather strap from his drawer and wrapped it around his waist to hold up his pants. He tied a simple knot and did the same for his legs, but he tied the knot right below his knee cap.
He grabbed his tabi and slipped them on. Everyone on the bounty had a different style of footwear they wear while fighting or training. Jay and Zane wore tabi, only Zane's were higher than Jays. They stopped about seven inches above his ankles, while Jay's stopped just after his ankles. Cole wore lightweight, but heavy duty black leather boots. Kai wore black military style boots. Nya wore whatever, Wu still has to get some custom made ones for her. As of now she uses a pair of Jay's or Kai's shoes. Lloyd has a mixture of tabi and military boots, they were specially made for him, given to him as a gift from his mother.
As jay finished he took off his night shirt and put on a white mens tanktop. He snatched his Ipod from his nightstand snd grabbed his earbuds. Jay scrolled through hs device and found his favorite song.
Silently he left his room and started towards the kitchen, only to find someone peacefully having a midnight snack.
Jay froze and watched as the figure rose their head to look at him." What are you doing up?" The younger male asked the frozen stiff man.
"Uhh...I forgot my toolbox outside." Jay quickly said, sweat dripping down his face. He put on a fake smile to trick the green ninja."Okay. Its a bit rainy so you might wanna get it tomorrow." Lloyd said taking his plate and placing jt quietly in the sink.
Jay shuffled to the door and looked outside, a flash of lighting made his heart race in excitement. He grabbed the doornob." Its fine I'll be speedy quicky." He opened the door and felt a hand on his shoulder.
He turned to meet his fellow ninjas relaxed face. Lloyd was now holding a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate." I know you're just wanting to go outside." He simply stated.
Jay frowned," Fine you caught me." He sighed and felt some droplets of water hit him."I just cant help it." Slowly he shut the door and faced Lloyd, who had a grin.
"What?" Jay asked. Lloyd smiled more and laughed." I never said that you couldn't go." The blue ninjas face lit up, he eagerly put his earbuds in and bearhugged Lloyd.
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Jay burst through the door and ran out onto the deck.
"Shhhh Jay." Lloyd said as he shut the door and walked over to the window to watch his brother in arms play like a four year in the rain.
The master of lighting looked at his ipod and clicked play on it.
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
During Jays first years of middle school he was bullied for being too smart, or just wanting to constantly make stuff. Although he got good grades, he was a nusance in class, teachers always caught him making random things and not paying attention in class.
Also he was one of those kids, ya know who have short tempers, except Jay had short times of holding in fear. Whenever he got scared he would shriek and say what the worst thing that could happen is.
His very first BIG invention was his wings, the day Wu found him. All he wanted was to become a professional inventor and be famous. Yet he has become famous, but inventing is mostly pushed to the side.
Not a yes sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Jay, just like the others, dont really like taking orders. He prefers to go solo and go under his own command. BUT since he's Sensei Wu's student he must do as told.
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, thunder
Thunder
"Who the hell is that?" Lloyd didn't bother to turn around, he could tell by the voice. He smiled as the person leaned next to him on the counter."That's you're boyfriend." Lloyd said turning to look at the black haired girl. She was giving him a death stare."Uhh...Hot chocolate?" He said offering a cup to her, she took it, but the death glare was still imprinted on her face.
"Why don't you get him inside. He's gonna get sick or hurt!" Nya exclaimed after taking a sip of the warm drink. Lloyd laughed at her protectiveness of Jay, come to think of it, she's like Kai in a way. She never let Jay do anything dangerous or stuff like that in their free time.
"Nya, Jay is the storm, he won't get hurt or sick." Lloyd said calmly.
Kids were laughing in my classes
While I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are?
Dreaming 'bout being a big star
They say you're basic, they say you're easy
You're always riding in the backseat
Now I'm smiling from the stage
While you were clapping in the nose bleeds
Jay had told everyone in his middle school classes about how he wanted to be a famous inventor, of course this lead to him being bullied, alot. He remember one time in gym class they were doing a relay race, and everyone left Jay out, except for his best friend Kale. Kale was really popular, and he told his closest friends not to pick on Jay. Jay was handed the baton and his four groups members cheered him on as he zoomed pasted his opponents.
His 'bully', Zack was fast, and I mean fast. Jay had caught up to him and were going the same speed. Lets just sum up the story, Zack tried to trip Jay, but failed and face planted in the dirt, loosing two teeth and got a bloody nose. Jay's group had won and he got a trophy for it too.
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder
Thunder
Jay started to feel his elemental power kick in, his heart was racing, and the blood in his veins were pumping. He felt energized, he loved this feeling. The feeling of freedom, energy, and excitement. He sure did miss it when he wasn't aloud to go out during storms.
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
"HEY!" A voice shouted from behind the two ninjas, both turned, startled from the voice. Kai was in his bed short and glaring at both of them." It's one in the morning, why they hell are you guys making n-" His gaze went to the blue ninja outside."noise...Why the fuck is he outside!" He rushed to the door and attempted to open it."We all agreed that he wasn't aloud to-."
"KAI!" Nya shouted."It's fine, Lloyd let him." She blocked the door so Kai couldn't get out. Lloyd pushed back Kai.
"It's fine." He said softly, Kai nodded slightly and relaxed himself. Lloyd gave another laugh,"After all, he is lightning."
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning then the thunder, thunder
