A/N: This is my second fanfic everyone! It takes place at the end of episode 4 of Season 3: Ninjaball Run. It features my OC: Kora.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago

(Kora's POV)

"Steady, steady!" Cole directed. "Now set it down here."

I heaved a sigh of relief as Cole and I dropped the TV we were carrying on a chest of drawers. Everyone was moving all of our things back into the Destiny's Bounty. We had just claimed it back from Lord Garmadon and had parked it in front of our old apartment as we moved things in. Now we were just about done.

"Is that everything?" I asked wearily.

"I think so, but we'd better check." Cole instructed.

A mischievous smile spread across my face. Ever since I had become the ninja of time, I had used my Staff of Time for every little thing so things could move along faster. I hadn't exactly been too responsible with my new gift. I'd used it to visit Arua occasionally and prank Jay by moving his controller in the middle of his video games. I had received punishments from Sensei, but on the plus side, I had discovered that if time was frozen and I tapped someone with the staff, they stepped out of time too. What can I say? Every second counts!

"Allow me," I offered.

Cole put on a withering look. "Kora, not again. Sensei said-"

"Too late!" I cried, interrupting him.

I slammed my staff into the ground and everything froze. I breathed in deeply. There's nothing like being the only girl that's moving in the world! I thought happily. I raced up to Sensei who was on the deck, watching Kai and Zane carry a table onto the Bounty. I stopped directly in front of Sensei and tapped the staff on the ground again. Sensei jumped back in surprise and Kai dropped his end of the table. I heard a crunch and he yelled out in pain as it landed on his feet. Oh jeez. Sorry Kai! Re-do!

I tapped my staff back on the ground and dragged it towards me and I watched everything re-wind. The table jumped back into Kai's hand and I lifted the staff off the floor which paused time in that spot. I strode over to Kai and tapped the staff on the floor again. Kai dropped his end of the table in surprise but this time I caught it.

"Watch it!" Kai yelled.

"Sorry, but did you want this to break your toe?" I retorted, angry and sarcastic.

He grabbed the end of the table I was holding and I let go once I was sure he was holding it properly. I walked up to Sensei.

"Is that the last of it?" I asked.

He looked at me disappointedly. "Yes but Kora, you must not abuse the power you've been given. With great power comes great responsibility. In fact, I think that will be today's lesson: To teach you to slow down and embrace some history. Neither you nor Lloyd has visited the ruins of the monastery before. I think sending you two and the other four ninja there will teach you some patience." There was a knowing twinkle in his eyes.

"What?!" I exclaimed. "You've got to be kidding me!"

Sensei looked angry I insulted his teachings. Maybe that was a bit rash...

"Uh oh!" Jay hollered as he strode casually onto the deck. He was followed by Nya. "Somebody's in trouuuuublllle!"

Nya giggled but had a sympathetic expression. I growled angrily.

"Not now Jay!" I muttered.

"Actually, Jay is correct," said a frowning Sensei. He turned to face to the sunset. "Perhaps the choice I made was wrong. Perhaps you are not ready for the Staff of Time. If you continue to show disrespect to others and my teachings, you will return to a regular staff."

Jay, Nya and I gasped. No! I love this power! I thought desperately. A humble sadness overcame me. I guess I have to change my attitude. I realised how difficult this could be. Or at least try. I bowed to Sensei.

"Yes Sensei. I will go to the monastery with the others," I said humbly.

He nodded in approval. "Good. We shall park the Bounty on a nearby hill. You can walk the rest of the way."

I nodded. "Yes Sensei. I will tell the others."

"This is it?" I asked blankly.

I looked around at the piles of wood and dust that lay before me. Well this is great. I get dragged out here to pointlessly stare at rubble. We filed in and made ourselves comfortable. I walked over to a pile of wood and picked up a beam. It was burnt and black at the edges.

"This is the place," Jay told me. "You should have seen it back when it was functional. It was amazing! It had a serene feel about it and it was perfect for training. No risk of falling from 1000 feet in the air."

"I did see it Jay," I reminded him. "I watched Zane's memory banks."

Zane stroked the ruins of a wall. "That does not change the fact it was an architectural marvel of our time. It was quite interesting."

Kai and I groaned in boredom while Lloyd stared around sadly.

"It was all my fault it was destroyed." He muttered.

"Well, yeah, it kinda is," said Kai.

Cole glared at him and nudged him in the ribs and Zane walked up to Lloyd and held his shoulder comfortingly. Jay was salvaging the rubble for anything that could have survived the blaze. I looked over at Kai.

"I'm with Kai on this one," I said supportively. "If Lloyd had never opened this first tomb, you'd still have this place." I paused as everyone but Kai glared at me. "On the other hand, we've never been so portable." I chuckled nervously.

There was a long pause as we sat there in silence, breathing in the history. History! That's it! I stood up with a cheerful face.

"Anyone up for a little time travel? I haven't tested it out yet but we could try it." I offered. Cole opened his mouth to rebuke me but I cut him off. "Plus, Sensei said to embrace history. What better way to do it?"

Everyone hesitated as they thought this through. Come on, agree! I looked around eagerly. One by one everyone nodded, Cole nodding last.

"Ok then. Any recommendations as to what we do or where we go?" I asked, twirling my staff casually.

"Oh! Oh! Me!" Cried out Jay. "We could go back in time to fix all the humiliating things we did in our lives! Wouldn't that be great? We'd have no regrets!"

"Sounds good to me," Kai said.

"Sure, why not? Anyone have any particular moments they'd like to fix?" I asked. "We are not fixing the release of the Serpentine. It's too crucial a moment." I added to Lloyd.

Everyone was quiet as they tried to think. It was a long silence and I racked my brains. If I never became Zeera, I never would have met the ninja. That moment is out of the question…

"I've got it!" Cole cried. "The moment when I was a young kid and I first stuffed up the Triple Tiger Sashay! A dance move is totally harmless to fix."

I nodded. "I've got a theory on how to get to that time. Link arms with me and focus on a time before it occurs so we can get there."

Zane added some advice. "May I suggest putting the portal in a place out of sight from civilians? I am sure they would question our appearance."

Cole linked arms with me and nodded. He closed his eyes and focused on the moment. My staff began to glow. I twirled it with one hand, gradually speeding up. As the speed increased so did the glow. Once it was blindingly bright, I stopped and pointed the staff in front of me. It shot out a bright purple beam and a vortex appeared in front of us.

"Wahoo!" cried Kai.

He and the others raced up to me and Jay punched my arm. I rubbed it awkwardly. They're really supportive but the intensity is kind of weird.

"I suggest we link arms as we go through so we do not lose each other." Said Zane.

Cole nodded. "Good idea."

We all linked arms and stepped through the vortex.

A/N: Oh no! A cliffie! Stick around for awesomeness of the time travel kind! R&R. I love reviews!
