Oceans Missions: Ninjago After Seabound

The Second Master Of Lightning

Lloyd's POV

The next day, we decided to go for a walk in the city, to see how the rebuilding work was going. All of us went, even Harumi, Skylor, and Vania. Except Wu, Mom, Maya, Ray, and Harumi's parents, we all went.

The city itself was bubbling with crowds and chaos. Some were mourning the losses of their family members who had drowned in the storm, but most of them were happy and enjoying themselves. There was some traffic on the roads, for some of them had to be rebuilt, but everything looked fine.

"Hey, it's so nice out here! So windy and calm, and—hey, why don't we go to the arcade?" Jay asked.

"Yeah, let's go!" I yelled, jumping up, letting my 12 year old self take over my brain.

"Race ya!" Kai shouted, and me, Kai, Jay, and Cole took off running. The girls walked slowly behind us, gossiping and whispering (duh).

Kai won the race, like usual, he was the fastest runner, I came second, then Jay and Cole tied. We rushed inside the arcade. It looked brand new, all the water was cleaned out, the games were up and running, and Prime Empire had its own gaming space, where many people were competing.

We all went to play Prime Empire, because duh, why would we not, and as we were playing I saw a girl. Not any girl, but one with blond, curly, long hair and brown eyes, plus blue designer clothing. I didn't "like" her, don't get me wrong; I noticed her because she was beating the game. Badly. She was on level 200, where only masters could reach. She played fast, and well, and she beat everyone on every round.

After we were done playing. I decided to approach her, and my friends were behind me (the girls had just come back from the mall, duh)

"Hey, how do you play so good?" I asked her.

"Oh, hey!" she said. "I don't know—I'm just talented." Her voice was a little raspy, like Jay's.

"Hey, you look kind of familiar," Kai piped up. "Have I seen you before?"

"I dunno, my dad died a few years ago, and my mom was already dead, so I've been playing arcade games in the secret chamber," she explained.

"Secret chamber?" I gasped.

"Yeah. Let me show you." And she led us to the last game in the Prime Empire series, and she flipped a switch on the side of it. The floor opened up to be a secret chamber.

"Whoa! That's so cool!" Jay exclaimed.

"I know, right? You see, I was playing this game and I decided to flip a random switch I found, and discovered this. I explored every inch of it and even found a mysterious library!" she replied. Then she turned to us.

"I'm Mabel, by the way. It's nice to meet you guys."

"Nice to meet you, Mabel," I greeted.

"I'm Lloyd, and these are my friends: Kai, Cole, Vania, Nya, Skylor, Harumi, and Jay."

"Jay? I've heard that name somewhere."

"Oh! Well that's surprising," Jay replied. "You see, my full name is Jayson G. Walker, and I—"

"Wait, what does the G stand for?" Mabel asked. She opened a door to show us a secret library full of scrolls.

"The G stands for Gordon. It was my last name before I got adopted," Jay replied. (We already knew he was adopted, because he told us after the "Prime Empire" era).

Mabel looked shaken. "Are you...an elemental master of lightning?" she asked Jay.

"Yeah, I am. How did you—" Jay stopped midsentence, for Mabel interrupted him.

"Seriously? Well, check this out," she said. Then she lifted up her hand, pointed it at a poster on the wall, and everyone was shocked to see a burst of lightning shoot out of her palm.

"You're a master of lightning too?!" Jay gasped.

"Yeah, I am, and Gordon is my last name, too."

"Wait...who are your parents?" Jay asked.

"Cliff Gordon, otherwise known as Fritz Donnegan, and Libber Gordon, the second master of lightning!"

"Wait, we're siblings?!" Jay gasped.

"I knew I recognized that name!" Mabel yelled. "You are Jayson, or Jay, my biological brother!"

"Oh my god!" everyone screamed, even me.

"Wait, so, mom had another child? After me?" Jay asked.

"Before you," Mabel corrected him. "Mom said you were an accident, you weren't supposed to be born, and so they left you in a junkyard when I was two years old and so were you. You were born a month after me!"

"Wait, what? I—this is unbelievable!" Jay gasped.

"So. You're all elemental masters?"

"Not all of us," I replied, and everyone except Harumi and Vania stepped up and shot our elemental powers at the same place Mabel did.

"Then who are they?" Mabel asked.

"They are Harumi and Vania," I explained. "Harumi has no powers, but we made her the 'Master Of Acting', because she's great at acting, manipulation, and lies. She used it against us once. And Vania..."

"We haven't found any powers she has, but she's my cousin, so she might have earth powers, like me," Cole explained.

"I see. It's nice to meet you all...Especially Jay, haha."

Jay smiled. "So...sis! Do you want to come home with us?" he asked.

"Wait, really? That'd be great! I've been living in this secret chamber forever. I was even able to stay safe from Wojira's attacks. We should make this an emergency shelter," said Mabel. She also had a habit of running her mouth, just like—just like her brother, Jay.

"Oh, hey, Nya! Remember when we went back in time? We saw Mabel and Jay's mom." Kai said to Nya. "That's why we recognized her here."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Nya said, with a loud sigh at the end. "I get it now."

After that we all went home to the monastery. Mabel got one of our spare rooms, and she met all the adults and then Ed and Edna came to visit, and she met them and talked to them, while I was still in shock of how many secrets we'd uncovered in this week alone.
