Oceans Missions: Ninjago After Seabound

Secrets And Forgiveness

Kai's POV

The next day, we were all lounging in the living room. I was sitting at the dining table, watching Instagram reels. Jay, Cole, Mabel, and Vania were playing Prime Empire. Lloyd, Nya, Harumi,  and Skylor were chatting and whispering to each other. Suspicious.

That's when Skylor, the bold one, climbed up onto the table and clapped her hands loudly. We all turned to look. "Guys! I have an announcement!" Skylor exclaimed. "Zane's memory has gone viral on the internet!"

"What?" I gasped. "What does that mean..."

"When Zane died, he uploaded all of his memory on Netflix to share our story. The story of the ninja and the Resistance that never quits. People have started watching it, and now we're famous!" Skylor explained calmly. "It's crazy, check it out!"

Nya's POV

Somehow, Skylor was the first one to find out about Zane's memory situation. He had titled the Netflix show as "Ninjago", of course, because it was the story of our realm and of us Ninja, and our catchphrase, "Nin-ja-go."

There were episodes divided into seasons, which went in the order:

The Pilot Episodes: The way it all started, when the ninja were first formed, and when Garmadon tried to rule Ninjago.

Rise Of The Snakes: The Serpentine era, when each ninja found their true potentials and defeated Pythor and all.

Legacy Of The Green Ninja: The Overlord, the Dark Island, Lloyd's battle with his father and true potential.

Rebooted: The nindroid era, Zane's sacrifice, the 'defeat' of the Overlord, Zane and Pixal's relationship began, and also Jay and Cole were fighting over me like little brats.

The Tournament Of Elements: Chen's Island, Skylor and Kai meet, Zane comes back, Pixal goes into Zane's head, Garmadon is banished.

Possession: Morro possesses Lloyd, unleashes the Preeminent, Ronin falls in love with me (ew), I gain my true potential, I become a water ninja.

Skybound: The whole Nadakhan and erasing time era. I never thought people would find out about this, but now everyone knows.

Day Of The Departed: Cole and Sensei Yang fight and Cole's ghost form goes away.

Hands Of Time: The Time Twins, we find out the truth about our parents, the time blades, Wu gets lost in time, me and Kai alter the past.

Sons Of Garmadon: We meet Harumi, the sons of Garmadon steal the three oni masks, Harumi betrays Lloyd, the ninja get stuck in the first realm.

Hunted: The ninja's journey in the first realm, the resistance's revolution, garmadon goes to jail, Harumi dies.

March of The Oni: The oni attack, Garmadon joins us before leaving again, Cole falls, Jay proposes to me and I accept, the tornado of creation happens, the oni are gone and so is the darkness.

Secrets Of The Forbidden Spinjitsu: The Aspheera, never realm, and ice emperor era, Lloyd meets Akita.

Prime Empire: When we got stuck in the game. Duh.

Master Of The Mountain: When we were in Shintaro and Cole defeated Vangelis.

The Island: When we went looking for Wu and Misako in the Island Of The Keepers.

Seabound: The whole Kalmaar and Wojira thing that was totally my fault, and then I make up for it, by saving Ninjago with an almighty sacrifice of my own human form.

Jay's POV

Nya was silent and pale as we looked at the names and thumbnails of each 'season' of Zane's memory. He knew about the Nadakhan incident? Or, so, his memory did!

After we read the entire thing (everyone looked at 'Skybound' with a confused look), Nya pulled me to the side. The others watched from afar.

"Jay, should we tell them?" Nya asked, talking in our simplified code language (which meant leaving out the details in case someone was eavesdropping).

"Tell them about Skybound? I think they'll figure out on their own," I replied. I wasn't thinking much of it.

"Jay! Kai will kill both of us if we don't tell them!"

"Tell me what?"

We both whipped around. It was Kai, Lloyd, and all the others.

"Uh..." Nya gasped. "It--tell you that--um..."

"About that season," I started. "Skybound."

"Jay!" Nya screamed.

"It's fine, Nya. They were gonna find out anyway!" I said back. I wasn't angry; It was just in an 'I've got this' tone.

Nya's face went pale and eyes wide, and she had shiny eyes and a wobbly mouth all of a sudden as I spoke.

"So, you know the teapot of Tyrahn, right?" I asked the others. "That...the truth is, Nya never actually took my hand. Clouse found the teapot and he unleashed a pirate genie djinn guy called Nadakhan. He gave us three wishes and we all used them up one by one, and after a lot of tragic incidents, the downfall of Ninjago, Nya got hit with a powerful venom, so did Nadakhan. Nya died in my arms and I made my final wish, 'I wish you had taken my hand', and then Nadakhan granted it, before he died. All the time got reversed and my wish went my way, with Nya taking my hand and us all being safe. Soo...that's why you guys are so confused about it!"

I let out a deep breath and felt sad when I turned to see tears leaking out of Nya's eyes.

"But how did you know...if he reversed time? I mean...how did we not--How did we not know?" Kai stuttered.

I sighed. "Only me and Nya remember it. We decided not to tell you because it was too sad, and we decided we'd tell you one day, but then the time got too long and we thought you'd get mad at us, Kai."

Kai looked back and forth between me and Nya, before changing his expression from serious to calm. "Oh guys! I would never get mad for this!" He gasped, and wrapped me and Nya in a hug.

At this moment, I think my eyes started to well up with tears. Nya sobbed into Kai's shoulder; Not sadly; In relief.

"Shh, it's okay, sis," Kai said, comforting Nya. "I'm not mad. I understand. It's okay."

I looked at the others. Lloyd's eyes were shiny and he was tearing up a bit. Mabel was smiling. Skylor, Harumi, and Vania were looking completely blank and pale. Cole had on a sad smile, and he was deep in thought.

After Kai let go of us, Nya was wiping away her tears. Her eyes were red and puffy, but she was no longer pale. She was smiling.

Lloyd looked very happy all of a sudden. He was smiling widely and he still had tears in his eyes. Probably getting emotional at Kai and Nya's sibling bond or something.

Suddenly Cole looked uncomfortable. He looked kind of sad too, so I asked, "Cole? What's wrong?" and everyone looked at Cole and went silent. Everyone's smiles faded away seeing Cole's face.

"I--I've kind of been keeping a secret too..." Cole said, adding a sniff along with his words.

His hands were in his pockets, and he turned so that his back was to us. Then he did something amazing. He reached out and held Vania's hand.

"The secret is...Vania, I love you! I've always wanted to ask you this, so will you be my Yang?" he said, blushing uncontrollably. He crouched down and held out a pendant.

After Vania approving his proposal, and Kai forgiving Nya and me for lying, we were all pretty happy. Then Mabel whispered to me, "I need to get a boyfriend. And Lloyd needs to propose to Harumi."

I looked at her and smiled. And she smiled back. Even though I was adopted...She was still my sister.
