“Primary power obstructed. Automatic self-detonation in five, four…”
“Oh…” Though Jay could feel a smile stretch his lips, he felt anything but cheerful. “That’s unfortunate…”
Caught in the aftermath of an explosion, Jay struggles to balance his injuries and the mission at hand. (Or, that one fic where Jay should’ve been waaay more hurt than he was in Spellbound, told by Jay, Kai, and Cole.)

Summary
Kai tugged at his hair. “I wish I could just, ugh! Like, just wish us back home, you know? Wish none of this ever happened in the first place. Wish it all away or something…”
“No, you don’t.”
The voice startled him more than he’d ever care to admit. Honestly, he hadn’t thought Jay was awake…
Caught in the Realm of the Oni and the Dragon, Kai accidentally stirs up painful memories for his friend, leading to a very unexpected but much-needed conversation between the two brothers.

Summary
That warmth that had been Jay’s best friend earlier was turning into his worst nightmare. The room spun and that stupid warmth was doing its best to shove his eyelids shut.
“I don’ feel so good. Cole, I… I don’—”
His second stumble would’ve sent him crashing to the floor had those strong arms not wrapped around him.
When Jay drinks too much punch at a welcome party for Ambassador Veneir from Shintaro, he puts the entire mission in jeopardy. Now, with Kai missing, it’s up to Cole and the rest of the team to figure out what’s going on before it’s too late. In Jay’s defense, he didn’t know anything was wrong with the punch in the first place.

Summary
“P-Please!” Jay began. It wasn’t too hard to act scared with the way Kai was gripping his clothes like he was about to tear them apart. “Have mercy!”
“There is no mercy for traitors!” Kai growled. “And you might as well drop the act. I know you’re a spy. I should have you executed for your crimes against the crown! Unfortunately, the queen has… other plans for you.”
Though his tone was harsh and biting, Kai's face took on more of a desperate, pleading expression, as if begging them to understand—to read between the lines.
A kingdom overthrown. A royal family missing. And dozens of citizens forced into slavery. When the Ninja take an undercover mission to rescue Shintaro’s sister kingdom, they soon realize they might be out of their depth. One thing needs to another, leading to the Ninja fighting not only for the missing citizens, but for each other as well.

Summary
“Jay…?” Kai reached out.
Jay flinched. “D-Don’t.”
That’s when Kai saw them.
The smoldering holes of blue fabric—and the angry patches of red marring the skin underneath.
Poisoned by the latest villain, Kai goes on a destructive rampage, leaving more pain in his wake than he could ever hope to resolve. Yet, somehow, he and Jay have to resolve this or risk tearing the team apart at the seams.

Summary
Jay was doubled over on himself, breathing even heavier than before.
And gripped tightly between Kai’s bloody white knuckles was the dagger.
“Kai…” Cole shook his head, trying to chase away the lightheadedness before it had a chance to settle in. “What did you do…?”
On a mission gone wrong, Jay gets stabbed, thrusting Cole and Kai into a desperate scramble to save their friend’s life before it’s too late.

Summary
Jay’s eyes darted back and forth, making a quick examination of Kai’s injury. “What exactly happened? What can I do?”
“Going off the pain alone,” Kai ground through clenched teeth, “I’d say it’s dislocated. You’ve got to… got to pop it back in.”
“What?”
Kai dislocates his shoulder during a battle and the only one around to pop it back in is Jay. Major panic and brotherly pep talks ensue.

Summary
“I mean, sure,” Kai pressed on, hoping his voice sounded more reassuring to Jay than it did to him, “your parents can be a little eccentric sometimes, but your mom is totally not crazy.”
“Not my mom.” Jay’s whisper was barely audible, his eyes still wide as his chest shuddered. “My birth mom…”
Kai blinked as his entire world took a sudden, sharp shift on its axis. “Your… what? Jay, what are you talking about? Come on, this isn’t funny.”
“Yeah, no kidding, and I’m not laughing…” Jay squeezed his eyes shut, clutching at his chest. “He… He told me that she was dead… Why would he do that…?”
A startling revelation about Jay's parents shakes Kai's world up in more ways than one, setting him on a journey of healing toward his own parents. By helping Jay, Kai unintentionally gets the help he's been avoiding since the Hands of Time. (Taking place sometime before Seabound. Featuring a Dragons Rising Epilogue.)
