After Jay used the traveler's tea, he fell down onto the pile of junks in Ed and Edna's Scrap n' Junk. He screamed while falling down, earning the attention of his parents.


"What is that racket?" Ed gasped, running out the trailer, "Our son!"


"Oh, you mean our adopted son, Ed. Remember?" Edna reminded, running towards the master of lightning.


"Of course I remember, Edna. But this is the second time he's landed on our doorstep, and if you think I'm not going to help him, well, you don't know the man you married." Ed replied.


"Of course I know. That's why I married you. Oh, I hope he's all right." Edna said, looking at their adopted son.


"Now, how does someone just fall from the sky?" Ed questioned.


Jay slowly woke up, "Mom? Dad?"




Jay was sipping his soup he got from his parents, a blanket wrapped around him.


"And then when I tried to save Nya with the Traveler's tea, she said since I had the most important wish, I was the one who needed to be saved. Then she pushed me through the portal. I had no idea where I was going. I guess with my parents on my mind, it sent me where I needed to be." He explained, sighing.


"Oh. Hear that? He called us his parents." Edna said, smiling.


"So that's why Ninjago is falling apart." Ed added.


"If I could take back the wishes, I would. But I can't. It cost me my sister, my friends, the love of my life, and most importantly, the two people who care for me the most. And now it's up to me, and me alone, to stop the wedding and save the world. Just one guy against a Djinn and his entire army.


"Now you stop it. Stop making excuses." Ed growled, folding his arms.


"Uh, excuse me?"


"Every time you're over your head, you make a joke and you try to laugh it off. Right now is not a time to be a man of words, but a man of action."


"Ed, don't be so hard on him." Edna replied, sighing.


"N-Now, he needs to hear this, darling. The world is falling apart, and he's eating soup."


"But I told you, it's just me." Jay shrugged, not really knowing where this conversation is going.


"Hush, puppy! You're liked by everyone who meets you. You're telling me a boy from a junkyard can't scrap together a few friends to help him out in a jam?"


Jay prepares to depart. "Good luck infiltrating the wedding, son." Ed smiled, waving.


"Thanks, Mom and Dad. I'll let you know how things go." Jay replied, smiling.


"And after you save Nya, bring her over for a bite. We'd love to see her again."


Jay summons his dragon, flying away to find a team and defeat Nadakhan. "I still think you were hard on him, Ed."


"And that's why I married you, sweetheart."






After reaching New Djinjago, the Ninja replacements; Skylor, Echo Zane, Soto, Ronin, Dareth.


"Wait for me over there. I'll get Nya." Jay whispered to the others, making his way to the window which is the closest to Nya. "Psst. Nya."


"Jay! You came for me." Nya exclaimed, smiling.


"Oh, wow. You look beautiful. I'll get you out." He tries to open the window, but it won't budge. "Oh, man!"


"I already tried. They won't budge." Nya replied, sighing.


"Do you still have the poison?"


"They took it. Oh, Jay, the ceremony is gonna start any moment. You didn't use your wish yet, did you?" Nya asked, hopefull.


"Not yet. Maybe if we both..." They both pull on the window, which still didn't budge.


"I don't trust anyone else. I will escort her myself." Nadakhan said, from behind the door.


"It's him. Hide." Nya instructed and Jay leaves, but gets stuck on a rope.


"It is time." Nadakhan said to Nya, smirking.


"Already? Boy, if I had another wish, I sure would use it right about now. Now that you're in earshot." Nya said extremely loud, trying to get Jay use his wish.


"Ugh. I wish Nadakhan wasn't a—" He stopped talking when a group of sky Pirates grunt at him. "What are you looking at?" He fights them, but is too far away and Nadakhan can't hear him. "I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn! I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!"


"If you won't come willingly, Nya..."


"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!" Jay shouted, but Nadakhan didn't hear it.


"...I will take you regardless."


"Wait." Nya stopped him.


"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!" Jay repeated.


"Call me Dilara." Nya smiled.


"Why the sudden change?" Nadakhan asked.


"I never thought I'd say this, but you've proven to be the most powerful. You win. And I'd be a fool to turn my back on the man who could grant me everything I ever wished for."


"Dilara and I dreamed this moment would come, but we never had the chance to see it through."


The continued their talk, eventually leaving. And leaving the Djinn Blade behind.


"I wish Nadakha—Oh, come on. Seriously? Huh? The sword." Jay said, taking it and regrouping with the others.


"Don't tell me. You didn't get her." Ronin said, opening the door for Jay.


"No, but she did help me get this." The blue ninja shows them the sword, "Now if I can only figure out how to free my friends from it."


"There is a way." Soto butted in, but then paused and a awkward silence was formed.


"Please go on. It's not like there is a wedding to stop!" Jay screamed, annoyed.


"A Djinn can capture you in his Djinn Blade by tricking you to wish it all away. Or there's a simpler way: be struck by it." Soto explained.


"You're telling me we have to strike Jay with the sword? Won't that be painful?" Skylor asked.


"And how do you know that's true? You still call the Ninja "Pajama Men."" Dareth added.


"I may not know much about Pajama Men, but I know Djinn. The hard part isn't getting captured by the blade, but getting out. There have been few who have ever escaped a Djinn entrapment, so I can't tell you what you'll find inside. But once you're there, you'll only have minutes until you fall under its enchantment and are forever trapped yourself."


"Okay, thanks for the tip. I gotta work fast. So who wants to strike me down?" Jay questioned and everyone raised their hands, "Really? Am I that annoying?" He decides to give Echo Zane the sword and hands it to the nindroid, "Okay, when I say "go.""


"On "go." Affirmative." Echo Zane repeated, ready to strike Jay.


"Wait!" Skylor interrupted.


"Wait! Wait? This isn't easy, you know." Jay replied, confused.


"What if you don't make it out? What are we supposed to do then?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.


Jay sighs, "You're right. So listen carefully. If I don't return, I want you four to go—"


"Go?" Echo Zane asked.


"Wait! No, no, no, no, no!" Jay screamed, as Echo Zane strikes him.


"And that's why I should've done it." Ronin stated, as everyone looked at Echo Zane in shock.


Jay was floating in the Djinn Blade, a green void and crystals everyone, searching for his friends. After bumping into a random person, he spots Kai. "Kai!" He swims to Kai, shaking the fire ninja, "Kai! Wake up!"


Kai wakes up with groans, and Jay yawned. The master of fire realised where he was and looked around.




Eventually, Kai and Jay find Zane and Cole.


"Wake up!" Jay screamed, shaking Zane.


"Wake up!" Kai also yelled, shaking the earth ninja.


"Lloyd!" Jay said after seeing the green ninja. He shook Lloyd, waking him up.


"Where's Y/n?" Jay asked, looking around.


He spotted her and makes his way to his sister.  "Wake up.. Wake up..." Jay repeated himself, shaking the purple ninja. She groans as she opened her eyes, rubbing them. 


Jay 'swims' to Misako, shaking her awake as well.


"Where's Wu? The way home is almost closed!" Misako points to Wu and Jay wakes him up.


The team starts floating towards the exit. The others are already out, except the blue ninja. Suddenly Clouse grabbed Jay's foot, dragging him down. Jay kicked Clouse in the face, and swam back to the exit.




The shed where the 'ninja replacements' are hiding explodes as the Ninja escape the blade.


"Jay!"


'It's Jay."


"It's great to see you guys." Jay smiled, proud.


"Way to go. Oh, good job." Cole complimented, smiling as well.


"Jay, you did it."


Zane sees Echo Zane, "And it appears you found some new friends."


"What about Nadakhan? Don't tell me that guy is still around." Y/n sighed.


"And he's more powerful than ever." Jay replied, sighing as well.


"Do we have everyone?" Wu asked, looking around.


"Not everyone. We have one more Ninja to save. Now who wants to crash a wedding?" Jay questioned, holding up the Djinn Blade as everyone cheers.




This also lacks Y/n but yeah.




Hint for what's next;




"We honor our ancestors because if we never look to the past, we cannot envision the future. On ..... we pause to remember those we've lost. And enjoy our time with those we are still fortunate to have. We never forget."
