Where Are You?

Oneshot – (FFN) (AO3)

Summary:

After the Crystal King's defeat, Vania thought everything was supposed to be peaceful. Then the Merge came, throwing Shintaro into chaos. To make it even worse, she hasn't heard from Cole since it happened…

It wasn’t long ago when Vania, Queen of Shintaro, thought everything really was going to work out.

Now that hope was only in her daydreams and memories.

-----

The fierce battle against the Crystal King had tested everyone, from greatest to least. When Vania heard of the battle, she marshalled her forces as fast as she could– of course, a militia was hard to muster quickly, and the royal guard was small. As soon as her men were gathered, and supplies were prepared, they set out at full tilt to Ninjago City, the center of the battle.

They arrived not a moment too soon, sweeping through the enemy forces, crushing Vengestone soldiers to dust beneath their feet. Vania spearheaded the attack, with Chompy, Hailmar, and the Upply at her side.

She would never forget her dear Cole’s face when he saw her, grinning from ear to ear, flushed from fighting. What a sight! The light in his eyes, the hope they shared, the moment when they knew all was not yet lost.

The Ninja took on their dragon forms, the ultimate form of Spinjitzu, and the battle was all but won in that moment. Too bright to look at, too powerful to stop. Vania barely knew what had happened; a moment later, everything was in motion.

Spinning, whirling motion.

The battled raged on, and she heard distant snippets of Cole’s fight against her father:

“You turned my people against me, turned my own daughter against me!”

“Oh, that! Yeah, kinda brought that on yourself.”

“Lies!”

There was a horrible thud , shaking the buildings nearby, and Vania jumped into action to spur Chompy forward. They swooped in, just as she heard her father’s last horrible taunt.

“The Crystal King wanted you for himself. Lucky for me, he isn’t here to see this.”

Panic flooded her vision. In retrospect, Vania didn’t know what she’d done, but her father was lying prone on the ground and Cole had gone to rendezvous with his team…

Only the last stand remained.

Just before the end of it all, Cole had swept down on his dragon wings (she didn’t know where they’d come from) and given her a tight, warm hug that she wished had been just a little bit longer.

It was momentary, before he swept away on his dragon wings once again, and left her to deal with the army. He headed for the Crystal King, the Overlord– it was the greatest battle of their lifetimes– the Ninja prepared to strike down their hated foe–

–and they won!

-----

Vania recalled again, how they had celebrated the defeat of the Crystal King. How everyone had come together to rebuild the city and the Monastery of Spinjitzu. How Cole had told her all about his adventure, from saving Nya’s life to his brief stint in prison to the battle they had just fought.

She remembered how it felt to press a kiss to his cheek before she left, hoping that he would accept it.

She knew with certainty that his bewildered smile was enough to sustain her heart. No matter the distance between them, no matter how long they were apart.

-----

She was wrong.

When Vania returned home with her victorious army, with gifts from the people of Ninjago City, something was wrong in a small, subtle way.

An odd trinket appeared here or there that didn’t belong.

There were some strange weather patterns and odd lights in the sky.

Vania swore she’d seen magenta light in the corner of her room… surely it was just more of those tiny crystals even her best laundresses couldn’t get out of the fibers of her battle dress. She’d shed them for weeks after the battle.

Then it got worse.

Shintaro had always had earthquakes. They were a consequence of the extensive cave system, plus the instability of recent years. Plus, the city was built near one of the largest faultlines in Ninjago! Minor quakes were common, and their only real consequences were the rockslides which blocked some of the mountain passes. This was normal. Expected, even.

They ignored the little earthquakes which shook Shintaro until three struck within the same week, each of them strong enough to topple already unstable buildings.

Unfamiliar storms raged.

Rain poured and then suddenly stopped.

Crops failed.

Everything became unstable.

The Merge came, and none of it mattered much anymore. A great tear formed in the sky, magenta and shining brighter than the sun over the city of Shintaro. The Mergequakes began, and Vania watched as her people struggled to find safety as their mountain home seemed to fuse into something else– somewhere else– anything but their old, familiar landscape.

The Merged Lands formed, with Shintaro suddenly bordered by a strange, wild land that had a large floating island hovering above it. The whole place was teeming with blue light and filled with strange, bipedal animals! Lions, birds, reptiles, and more…

Helpless to stop the chaos, Queen Vania directed her people, desperate to protect them. She ordered her soldiers to help evacuate the citizens, and the people did their best to prevent their city from crumbling to the very foundations. The Munce and Geckles surfaced to help, with their superior knowledge of stonecraft contributing greatly to the effort.

The aftershocks died away after a time, eternity yet only a moment.

Slowly, so slowly, everything started coming back together.

Eventually, a tense peace came back.

-----

Queen Vania sighed heavily, leaning back in her throne. Holding court had been a low priority for so long that now there were more petitions and emergencies than ever before. She’d never been so sleepless before.

She took a moment to summon the energy to deal with at least one more matter. “Hailmar, is there anyone left to meet with?”

The Captain of the Royal Guard shook his head. “No, your Highness. Just a report from the scouts.”

“Oh, thank the Master!” She closed her eyes, slumping tiredly against one of the armrests on her tall white throne. “What do they have to say?”

Hailmar cleared his throat, rustling through papers until he found the right one. “Mugwort says that they have come to the end of the changed landscape to the north. However, they’ve noticed very few Shintaran Ridgebacks, and several empty nests.”

Vania hummed, unable to stir up more energy. “More?”

“Yes, ma’am. This makes seven empty nests between all the scouting parties.”

“It’s not mating season. Why are they gone so early?”

“I’m afraid we don’t know. However, Steele said he noticed signs of some kind of struggle, and scorch marks on the walls of the cave where they found one of the nests. They seem to be from the strange drones we noticed the other week. He suggested that perhaps the dragons are not leaving willingly, but are being… dragon-napped, as it were.”

Vania opened her eyes, frowning deeply. She looked over at Hailmar, noting his grave expression. “What about our letter to the Ninja? Have they responded yet?”

He shook his head. “No, ma’am. No response of any kind to any of the letters we’ve sent. There’s been no sightings of them anywhere.”

Vania watched him for a moment, then sighed. “...I see. What else did Mugwort say?”

“Nothing else of importance. Just samples and reports about the strange plants and animals they’ve seen. I have forwarded those reports to the royal botanists, zoologists, and geologists for continued study.”

“Very good.” She nodded. “If that’s all, then… I think I’ll retire to my rooms.”

“As you wish.” Hailmar offered her a smile. “Would you care for an escort?”

“Thank you, but no. I want to be alone.” She smiled in return, but she knew it was unconvincing. “Let’s talk about this more over supper.”

With those parting remarks, she rose from her throne. The golden wings mounted on her back lifted her up, and she descended the stairs, coming to rest on the ground at the base of the dais. She walked out of the throne room, a small contingent of guards following her, and wearily made her way to her rooms.

When she was finally alone (as alone as a queen could be, considering how strange their world had become), she fell forward onto her bed with a heavy sigh.

No answer.

With a heavy heart, she strained her arms behind her to unclip her wing harness, unwilling to get up. Once they were off and pushed to the foot of her bed, she reached under her pillows to pull out a framed picture. It was one of herself and Cole, long before any of her current worries had existed.

Just looking at it made her frown, exhausted tears coming to her eyes, heart aching.

“There’s been no sightings of them anywhere.”

Where are you?

There were no answers. What had happened to the Ninja in the Merge? Even now, she was only hearing the most vague rumors about the Green Ninja re-appearing, or perhaps just some impostor, running around with a baby dragon and children dressed in orange and pink. It was so hard to get news from Ninjago City, and now that they’d renamed themselves The Crossroads, it was even more confusing.

It didn’t matter. They weren’t her Cole.

She let herself rest face-down on the bed, weak tears running down her cheeks, dripping off the tip of her nose to wet the duvet.

She couldn’t make herself believe he was dead. If he were dead, there would be proof of it!

…right?

She laid there wondering, thinking of when she’d last seen him: banged-up, victorious, slowly relaxing after the last threat to the balance was eradicated. Smiling, working hard, celebrating with his family in a way she just couldn’t interrupt.

She'd made a promise to herself then:

Next time. Next time, I'll tell him how I feel. I can't spoil this moment.

Now there might never be a next time. Cole might never be coming back to her, or to anyone .

Nothing was okay anymore.

Framed photo in hand, Vania cried herself to sleep.

Headcanon : the ninja test

This took place when..

Manson & Maison M. Garmadon (14)

River Walker (14)

Roy Smith (14)

Lilac Brookestone (12)

Marionette M. Garmadon (12)

Mei Walker (11)

Zen Julian (13)

Since they’re still young, Mei and Marionette weren’t part of the team. Lilac participated here and there but she’ll mostly be absent.

The future generation elemental masters were convinced that their parents disappeared off the face of this planet for 3 days. On the first day their parents were missing, nobody thought nothing about it but gradually, the first person to be suspicious was River. They went to Shintaro thinking at least Cole and Vania had to be there since they’re of royal status and the people will go frantic if their king and queen went missing but Cole and Vania were missing.

Manson : the king and queen are missing?!

Hailmar : shh you mustn’t tell the people the king and queen are missing! They’ll go in frantic

Maison : I’d go frantic too—how about their daughter?

Hailmar & Manson : of course that’s the person whom your concern with..

Roy : this is strange..our parents, they can’t just poof overnight

Zen : yes that’s highly illogical..I got a detention slip yesterday and none of my parents showed up to pick me up from detention. Of course I was thrilled thinking I could get away with it but mom dad and I are interconnected, they can see through my lenses

River : maybe they just don’t care *chuckle*

Manson : wait if you’re interconnected then could you look through their lenses? Maybe that’ll give a clue on what happened to them

Zen : I can try

Zen tried to look through the lenses of his parents but his hardware suddenly sparked; it was like a huge hit at the back of his head. Suddenly, Zen robooted and started uttering the message (like an automated machine) “Only the most courages of you can find what you’re looking for; it was never the colour of your gi nor your powers but your team.”

Maison : gi…? As in, Dad’s old ninja gi?

Manson : I didn’t take it, did you?

Maison : no, I look horrible in green

Roy : I took both my mom’s and dad’s

Zen : and I took my dad’s

River : I took my mom’s

Maison : but why does it matter? Is the message trying to signal to us that we need to become a ninja team to find our parents?

Manson : most likely, but where do we start even?

River : ok how many of us can do spinjitzu?

The group glanced at each other awkwardly.

Manson : dad never taught us, he just made us go through a series of obstacle course over and over again till we’re able to complete it before he finished drinking his strawberry slurpee

River : my mom never taught me either, in fact, I barely touched my water powers

Zen : it’ll make sense that your novel powers are going haywire, your mom wasn’t able to harness the element of water when she lost it the first time to Aspheera so when you inherited it, the element was untamed for years

River : *rolled his eyes* it doesn’t matter

Maison : I have yet to perfect Grandpa’s powers too

Roy : mom banned me from using my fire powers without my dad’s supervision because apparently I’m an unintended arsonist

Manson : looks like only me and Zen can use our powers *look smug*

Zen : actually I can’t. The last time I used my powers, hypothermia became the leading cause of death in Ninjago

Roy : wait that’s your fault? I had frostbites for weeks!

Manson : *facepalmed* ok whatever. Let’s retrieve our parents’ gi and go to the monastery *looks at Maison* we can visit grandpa’s grave too

Here are some comedic portion:)

Roy and Zen were falling off a cliff

Roy : Zen do something!

Zen : in case you haven’t noticed, I’m falling too!

Roy : can’t you summon a jet pack or something?

Zen : oh yeah! Let me turn into a slushee machine while I’m at it!

Maison : sometimes I still hear Grandpa’s voice, telling me that I have to be stronger

Manson : yeah cause you’re the type of guy to cry when you see a documentary about an ugly giraffe giving birth

Zen, River, Roy and Maison were hanging off Manson’s dragon

Manson : my dragon can’t carry all of us!

Roy : your right! *looks at Zen* summon your jet pack Zen

Zen : how many times do I have to tell you? I CANT DO THAT

Manson : maybe Maison should let go!

Maison : HEY!

Manson : he had a cinder block for breakfast today pfft

Maison : *looks at River* do you think I’m fat

River : I think your personality matters more :)

The group depended on River to stop the tsunami from crushing Ninjago City

Maison : control the water River! Control it!

River : I can’t! It’s not heeding my word!

Manson : your name is literally a body of water, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT CONTROL WATER?

Zen : maybe you can control it when you’re in the water

Roy : you’re right! *pushes River down without any warning*

River : I CANT SWIM *falls into the water*

Manson : again, how can a man named River drown?

Lilac : I hope you can find my parents

Maison : we will princess *blush*

Manson : let’s go before his face freezes to that stupid expression

(They’re in Maison and Manson’s house)

Manson : we need you to build us weapons, we don’t know what monsters lurk in the dungeon

Roy : me?

Maison : your dad’s a blacksmith right?

Roy : *reluctantly* leave it to me

(Few moments later)

Roy : ok here are your weapons

Maison : is this my mom’s cooking spatula?

Roy : yeah blacksmith isn’t really working out for me *pulls out a bended sword*

River : you know, my mom and your dad managed to create the fusion dragon

Roy : I don’t trust you

River : but we need trust

Roy : *holds River’s shoulder* you tried selling me at the zoo for one raspberry popsicle when we were 5

River : it was the last popsicle

River : I don’t think I can come by your house anymore

Maison : why not?

River : your younger sibling is pretty weird.. *glances at Marionette*

Maison : Manson’s pretty weird but you’ll get use to him

Roy : okay so we need a leader

Zen : I think I should be leader

River : no you’re the youngest, you can’t

Maison : how about me? My father is the green ninja afterall

Manson : so is mine

Maison : ok who’s the oldest

Roy : me, so I’m the leader

River : how about rock paper clamp?

The guys in unison : rock paper clamp

River : gun. I win
