(A/N: Okay, I thought I might put this up early because I want to do Day of the Departed at the end of October. Just to let you know, this story is based off the 'Dark Island Trilogy', and not an original. Apparently, it is hard to find and read the books, but I got lucky at my public's library)

"It has been three days since two fishermen went missing on separate occasions." A radio presenter said. "So far, the Ninjago police have no leads on the missing men. With me now is Stacey Shawnson, wife of missing fisherman Kelly Shawnson."

"I just want my Kelp back." A woman said. "I'm due in a month's time and it'll be his first kid. So, whoever hears this and knows where he is, please find him. For me, and for our future son."

"Thank you for your encouraging words, Mrs Shawnson. We will continue this story after sport and weather."

At a dock, Misako is looking at a small boat before turning to a wooden ship as Dragon came up to her. "Have you found a suitable boat?" He asked.

"This one will do." Misako replied, pointing to the ship.

"We'll set out tomorrow. I need to meditate because of a great darkness I feel."

"There's always something for you to fight. And life is too short."

"You're right. But still, wait for me."

Misako laughs. "It will only be a few days."

"At least take Ronin and Geoff with you."

"Okay then."

The following morning, Ronin, with a cigarette in his mouth, and Misako were preparing some gear as Geoff soon came up to them. "Sorry I'm late." He said as he came up to them. They look to see he was carrying a tackle box, a rucksack and wearing a beige bucket hat, brown vest, yellow flannel shirt, blue jeans and black gum boots. "Oh, about this, well, I thought I'd be discreet."

"You should find a role in playing a fisherman." Ronin replied, sarcastically as he took a puff.

"I ought to see you have glass in the ass, you cancer stick inhaler. Come on, let's just get going." Geoff opens the tackle box and got out a Remington RM380. He gets the magazine out, pulls back the slide to check inside the barrel before putting the clip back in and pulls the slide back as Misako looked on. "Just in case." He soon puts the pistol back in the tackle box and closes it before they head onto the boat. "I haven't been to Dark Island ever since Ronin abandoned me and you, the Ninja and Master Wu rescued me."

"I said I was sorry." Ronin replied as the boat took off. "Client offered me double to abandon you."

A couple of days later, the boat was moving along, having completed its task as Misako was getting bored. "Going to the Dark Island was a mistake." She said. "Can't this boat go any faster?"

"We're going as fast as we can." Geoff replied as he and Ronin straighten some sails.

"The Endless Sea isn't exactly gentle on the sails." Ronin said. "Remind me again how you got us into this mess."

"It was only a couple of fishermen." Misako replied. "I told Dragon I could investigate on my own. He needed to stay on Ninjago Island, but insisted I not go alone. I could never have guessed what we would discover when we got to Dark Island. We must warn Dragon and the Ninja, and quickly!"

"Well, I have been on the island for 10 months because of a certain money grubber." Geoff said.

"How many times do I have to tell you?" Ronin asked. "I said I was sorry. Well, that's what I get for thinking with my wallet. Had I known how much trouble we were sailing into, I would have charged more. A lot more."

Geoff sighed and looked at the starboard side. "Uh, Misako? We might have a problem..." Ronin looks on as well.

"A big scary problem from the looks of it."

"I'll try to steer us to safety!" Misako yelled as she turned the helm. "Hold on!"

"I think it's too late!"

"Attack!" Someone on the opposing ship yelled, firing cannonballs, which hit the ship.

"We're hit!" Geoff yelled.

"And we have more incoming!" Ronin yelled as the ship moves close. "They're going to board us!"

"Ronin, hold the ship." Misako replied. "I must do something if we have any chance..." She soon runs down the deck as Ronin grabs the helm and Geoff got out his pistol from the tackle box. "Oh, Dragon. Forgive me for not telling you-"

Two days later, at Steep Wisdom, Dragon was meditating, remembering all the enemies he and the Ninja previously fought. Samukai, Pythor, Cryptor, Chen and his very first student, Morro, who possessed Lloyd and Blake as well as his brother, Oni Garmadon. Knocking was soon heard as Dragon stood up and went to the door, revealing Gewuji, in a new ninja gi. "Master, you must come quickly!" She yelled.

"How long has it been?" Dragon asked as they ran down the shore.

"You have been meditating for days. When I awoke this morning, I saw it. And I knew I had to summon you."

"It? What is it that you saw?"

"Misako and Geoff's boat. They left a week ago. And today their boat returned...without them."

They come up to the remains of the boat as Dragon was shocked. The boat was missing it's sails, part of helm and parts of the railing were gone. "Oh, Misako...! Should never have let you go."

"I found this, under the compass." She holds out a note.

Dragon takes it and starts reading it. "Dragon, I know you will find this letter..."Misako's voice was heard. "...Our ship is under attack by pirates. I have little time, but I must warn you about Dark Island... Please, whatever you do, stay away from this place! It is worse than you can imagine."

Dragon sheds a tear and it falls on the note before he crunched it. "I have always done as you asked, Misako." He said. "But not this time. I will try to help."

"Then we're gonna need help." Gewuji replied. "I'm coming too. For my brother."

At a studio in Ninjago, Cole, wearing a white nightshirt, was waiting as an actress, in a black bikini was also waiting. "And, action!" A director called out.

The actress soon runs away, screaming as she picked up a nearby bucket of water as Cole, on a zip line, chases after her before she stopped and turned, holding the bucket as Cole stopped and opened his mouth, but says nothing. "Crap." He said before turning to a nearby stage handler. "What was my line?"

"Cut!" The actress grabs a robe from another stage handler before they help Cole down and the director came up to him. "Cole, we're almost done with your scenes. After that, it'll be the stunt double, so you won't have to get wet."

"Sorry, I've been up all night, helping Jay prepare for his wedding."

Another stage handler soon came up to them. "Phone call for Cole Smith." He said.

"What is it now?" Cole heads over to him and answers the phone. "Hello?"

In a movie theatre, Jay and Nya, both in their civilian clothes, walk out as Nya cries a bit and Jay gives her a handkerchief. "Such a sad ending." She said, rubbing her eyes with it.

"I know." Jay replied. "But don't you agree that Geoff did good acting?"

"Yeah." Jay's phone soon beeped and they look at it. "Looks like we're needed."

At the bank, some samurais exit it as alarms go off and they get in a nearby car with someone behind the wheel. "Alright, we got the cash." One of them said as they got in. "Let's go!"

The driver steps on the accelerator and the car drives away as Zane, Blake and Maggie, all in new Ninja gis, land atop a rooftop far from the bank. "Time for your friendly neighbourhood Ninjas." Blake said as they put their hoods on and Zane uses his Ice power, making a slide before they get on and Blake was behind to use his Wind power as a booster as they all slide down and Zane kept on making the slide to catch up with the car.

One of the robbers removed his samurai helmet before looking out the back window to see Zane, Maggie and Blake pursuing them on Zane's makeshift slide. "Aww, shit!" He yelled. "It's the Titanium, Silver and Tan Ninjas!"

"Lose 'em!" One of them yelled as the driver soon drove the car faster and some police cars pursue them as Zane, Blake and Maggie were still behind them.

"This is Cornelius V. Proctor, in hot pursuit of a white vehicle that has just robbed the bank and is currently on the run." He said into his radio before chuckling. The driver drives along the road before making a turn into an alleyway, causing all the police cars to crash into a nearby building wall while Zane, Maggie and Blake continue on. "They done scuffed my vehicle!"

The car soon stopped in the alleyway as the men look on. "So, where is this contact of yours?" One of the men asked. Window tapping was soon heard as they look to see Zane on the left, Blake on the right and Maggie was in front of Blake before hearing the sound of a gun's hammer being pulled back and they see the driver, aiming a Beretta PX4 Storm at them before he takes off his beanie, revealing blonde hair. It was Lloyd.

"They're right there." He replied.

Seconds later, the recovered police officers place the captured bank robbers into the back of their police car as Lloyd, Zane, Blake and Maggie look on. "I'm gonna cuff ya and stuff ya, you dipstick!" Cornelius yelled at one of the robbers. "Making me scuff my own vehicle!"

Beeping was soon heard as Zane widened his eyes. Inside his head, P.I.X.A.L. brings up a window. "It appears we are to regroup at the Samurai X cave." She said.

"Understood." Zane replied.

At a nearby book store, girls were lined up as Kai, in his civilian clothes, was signing copies of his book 'A Titanium's Ghostly Friend' as he soon signed the last book. "Okay, that was the last book, thank you." He said. Some of the girls groan as they walk away before Kai's communicator beeps and he looks at it.
