Zane's POV

"NOOOO!" I screamed, drenched in sweat. I was terrified. Of the dream, of the Raptors, of the future. Shaking violently, I slowly made my way to the kitchen. Nearly falling, I grabbed a coat hanger on the wall for support. I reached into a cabinet and pulled out a glass and filled it with water. Afraid that I would drop the glass, I searched for a straw. I found one in a drawer filled with napkins. I sat down at the table and took a good, long drink. The water quenches my painful thirst. I looked out the window. It was still dark. My database said that it was 6:07. The others would wake up at 6:30. I decided to consult Sensei and tell him about he dream.  

I stepped into his room. He was sitting cross legged on a mat, meditating.  

"Sensei," I start, "The dream has returned." 

He opens his eyes and nods approvingly. "What happened this time, Zane?" He asks suspiciously.  

"The prophecy had been completed. It was,

Babbling brooks and rushing streams, 

Several of Ice's frightening dreams,  

The new new element, it shall be 

What saves the life of a dying tree, 

Melted ice, melodic it sings, 

Atop the soaring dragons wings, 

The ninja of ice, he must save, 

What makes up a raging wave, 

He shall either prevail or face his doom, 

He comrades with faces of gloom, 

They shall either return triumphantly, 

Or be lost to the stormy sea."

"This troubles me," Sensei says, shaking his head sorrowfully.  

"Why?" I ask. 

"According to the prophecy, you, Zane, must complete the quest, not the others. And, you will either prevail, or..." He catches himself. "Never come back." 

"What is the quest, Sensei? Other than find the new master?"  

"I do not know. Only time will tell." 

"There is one other thing. After the dragon handed me the orb, there were these creatures, none like I have ever seen. They look like some kind of Raptor." 

Sensei's eyes widen. "Like this?" He rummages through a chest and pulls out a scroll with an image of the creature on it, with text above it in quotations.  

"We will return. No survivors this time." I read. " 'this time.' They have plagued Ninjago before?" I ask. 

"Yes, Zane. They have. The story goes a little like this:

Before the Ultimate Spinjitsu Master defeated the Overlord, the Overlord made a last-ditch effort to survive and cast a spell that creates living creatures out of man's worst atributes.

As they took shape, they began to resemble himself. He took a sort of pride in it, even though wings didn't grow.

Five separate creatures stood before him.

The first he names the Shiftai, able to become anything it bites, just like man is able to cloak itself with lies, to become whatever it wishes.

The second he named the Riproarai, able to instantly track anything and rush to it at astounding speeds. Just like man is able to find another's weaknesses and is so quick to use them to it's advantage.

The third he named the Telepai, able to teleport anywhere it wishes. Just like man is able to go wherever it wants, giving no care to the effect it has.

The fourth he named the Venomai, able to turn other animals into one of them. just like man is able to twist and corrupt another to their advantage.

The fifth he named the Infectai, able to cause a virus that can only be cured by the Venomai's venom. Just like man is able to poison another with lies.

Five of man's greatest weaknesses, as living things.

The creatures instantly began attacking the Ultimate Spinjitsu Master, and he was losing. He began to cast the same spell, but with all of man's best abilities.

They took the form of dragons.

One was called the Illusionai, able to cast any illusion it wished. Just like man was able to create fantasies.

The second was called the Time Turners, guardians of time. Able to bring people into the past, present, and future, just like man is able to predict what can happen in the future and prepare for it.

The third was called the StormChasers, able to manipulate weather. Just like man was able to make the best of any circumstance.

The fourth was called the MountainShapers, able to alter the form of the land to their will. Just like man was able to shape problems and make them into solutions.

They fought the craetures of darkness valiantly, but the victory was still on the Overlord's side. So the Ultimate Spinjitsu Master took ten humans and gave them his powers.

None of them existed yet, but when they did, they would destroy the Overlord for good. 

They were you, Kai, Jay, Cole, and Lloyd. No one knows who the other four were.

But legend says that they will have the power to control the army of dragons that corresponds with their element.

You know how the rest goes. With his last effort, he trapped the Overlord and his Minions on the Dark Island. He couldn't say the same for the craetures.

Both the good and the bad escaped, lost forever.

The good ones had no names yet. The evil ones became known as Raptors. We've found fossils and bones, but no living creature. That's because the toumbs where the Serpentine were held were acctually created by the Raptors as a refuge for thousands of years.

 When Lloyd and Pythor released the Serpentine, he no doubt let the Raptors free as well. This is a dire moment. Come, we must wake the others. Your mission starts now!"
