Greetings readers! This started out as a one-shot but got waaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer, sooo... I made it a story! :D Well, have fun.

Chapter 1

"GOTCHA NOW!" Tellen yelled as he and Anna burst into the training room. Distracted, Jay barely ducked a swipe from Kai's sword.

"Hey! What are you doing here, kids? We're working!" the blue ninja yelled as the two skidded to a halt next to the training mat.

"Anna stole my robot." Tellen replied, pointing at the younger girl accusingly as she hid something behind her back.

"Anna, please return Tellen's robot." Zane spoke up from where he was sitting beside Cole and Morro. Anna grudgingly handed Tellen a toy, that the older boy happily ran off with.

"What's going on?" Anna asked, plopping down on the floor next to Indigo.

"Kai and Jay are sparring. Nothing much." Indigo replied as Jay swung his nunchucks at Kai, almost hitting him but missing as the red ninja jumped back just in time.

"Where's Lloyd?" Anna asked, glancing around the room for any sign of the green ninja.

"In his room." Morro replied, "Reading a book. He was fighting Indigo a few minutes ago and she stole his energy, so he's taking a break." he gave Indigo an admiring smile that she returned.

"Roight." Anna said in a fake southern accent. "Go Kai!" she cheered, turning back towards the fighters.

"Heyeyey! Cheering isn't allowed!" Jay complained, blocking a strike from Kai.

"Even if it's for you?" Nya asked with a smirk.

"Well, maybe." Jay grinned.

"Go Jay!" Nya called, pumping her fist in the air.

"My own sister betrays me?!" Kai groaned in mock horror. "Oh the humanity!" he whacked Jay with the flat of his blade, sending the blue ninja sprawling to the floor.

"Hey! No fair! Nya distracted me!" Jay complained, lying limply on the ground.

"Oh, well, I guess you didn't betray me after all." Kai said with a laugh.

"You look good like that, Jay!" Cole called over. Jay glared at him, sitting up and, after picking up a training sword from next to him, threw it at Cole. The ghost ninja smirked as it passed through him harmlessly, picking up a wooden shuriken and throwing it back. Jay dodged and threw a piece of wood from a splintered sword at Cole, who threw something at him, over and over and over again. Unfortunately, Jay wasn't always looking at what he threw. Specifically, a glass of water. Jay yelped when he realized what he had thrown, but it was too late. Cole's eyes widened as the dangerous projectile flew towards him, and he dodged to the side. The cup hit the wall and, before anyone could react, its contents splashed over Morro, who vanished in a puff of green smoke. The occupants of the room sat there in stunned silence for a few moments before Jay whispered,

"I'm so hooped."

"I'm telling Lloyd!" Indigo exclaimed, jumping to her feet and dashing out of the room. Jay quickly ran after her, hoping to plead his case to Lloyd before the green ninja was too mad at him.

Morro opened his eyes slowly, blinking a couple of times as he sat up. He was in the Cursed Realm. In Prison Mountain. How did he get here? Oh, right. Jay killed him. Idiot. He stumbled to his feet, the burning feeling of water yet to wear off, and glanced around. Now he had to get out of here again. At least this time he could fly directly to the mountain with the portal on his dragon. So it shouldn't take too long to escape. Once he got out of these tunnels, of course. Morro looked back and forth, trying to get his bearings. He didn't recognize this part of the mountain. Oh well. If he started walking, he was sure to get to someplace useful eventually. He chose the left path and started walking. A few seconds afterward, though, a tremor rocked the mountain and he stopped, frowning. This mountain was very old, and was probably getting unstable. He hoped that the ground wouldn't— he froze as he heard a menacing crack above his head, and looked up in alarm to see a shower of large chunks of rock falling rapidly towards him from the ceiling high above. Before he could escape, the rocks hit him and he blacked out.

Forgotten

"It was an accident!" Jay yelled, bursting through Lloyd's door and startling the blond teenager, who was lying on his bed. Lloyd slowly lowered his book, looking at the blue ninja in confusion.

"What was an accident?" he asked as Jay glanced around the room.

"Just a moment." Jay tapped his foot on the floor a few times. "She'll be here any—"

"Lloyd! Jay killed Morro!" Indigo shouted as she ran through the wall.

"You what?!" Lloyd spun to face Jay, glaring at him angrily.

"Eheheh, he's not dead, per se, just back in the Cursed Realm!" the red-haired ninja coughed. "Cole and I were throwing things at each other and I accidently threw Kai's glass of water and it hit Morro so... yeah. H-he knows his way back, right? He'll be back in a couple days. I'm sure." Jay coughed again, Indigo and Lloyd's glares making him uncomfortable. "Sorry.

"It's okay." Lloyd sighed, running a hand down his face. "You're right. I'm sure he's fine. Although he is going to be really mad at you when he gets back."

"It's not okay." Indigo muttered, looking at the floor. Lloyd got off his bed and walked over, putting a hand on her shoulder. Well, almost. It went through her, but she seemed to appreciate the gesture.

"He'll be back." Lloyd promised. "If he's not back in a few days, we can have Clouse make a portal to the Cursed Realm for us. Okay?" Indigo nodded. Jay quietly slipped out of the room, and Indigo followed a few moments later after mumbling something about hiding in her room with Daggerclaws. Lloyd sat back down on the edge of his bed with a sigh. He was sure Morro would be okay, but he still felt like something was wrong. It was probably nothing. After a few moments, he went back to reading his books, the worrisome feelings shoved the the back of his mind.

Bansha floated through the corridors of Prison Mountain, doing her daily patrol of the area. She frowned as she passed another pile of rocks on the ground. The mountain was getting more and more unstable. She would have to talk to Soul Archer about building some supports or something. As she was about to turn the corner, she paused. Something was different about those rocks back there. Backing up, she took a closer look and realized that there was someone lying under the rocks, mostly buried. All she could see of them was part of their face and straight, black hair. Was that... Morro? Bansha hissed quietly. What was he doing here? He must have gotten killed, then gotten caught in a rockslide. She lifted one of the rocks away, setting it beside the rest. It was Morro, alright. He was unconscious, but his face showed that he was in pain. Slowly, she moved the rest of the rocks off him, one by one. His leg was bent at an odd angle. Was it even possible for a ghost to break a bone? Apparently. She floated back a step, contemplating what to do with him. It wouldn't be a good idea to leave him here. He might escape when he awoke, despite his apparent injury. He could always fly, on his dragon or with wind, after all. Probably best to take him back to Soul Archer's base in Minyeng, where he could rot in prison. Just then, Morro's eyelids fluttered, signalling that he was about to wake up. Bansha floated backwards a few paces, yanking her sword out of its sheath and holding it up in an attack stance. She could probably subdue him in his weakened state. Maybe. Unless he slammed her against a wall or something and knocked her out before she could even attack. Well, maybe she could knock him out again. Hopefully. Morro's eyes opened and he blinked a few times before slowly pushing himself into a sitting position, wincing as he did so. He stared into space, not seeming to notice her presence. Bansha solidified her tail into legs, dropping about an inch to the floor and creating a barely-audible tap. It got his attention, though, and he looked up, startled. Instead of attacking, like she'd excepted, or even just looking angry, the wind master shrank back against the wall, his eyes widening with fear as he focused on her sword. She frowned, narrowing her eyes. This was strange behavior for him.

"Who are you?" Bansha blinked at Morro's slightly-shaking voice. That was even stranger. He didn't remember her? Or was he just pretending?

"I'm... Bansha." she lowered her sword slightly, since it seemed to be scaring him. "What is your name?"

"I..." Morro lowered his gaze to the ground, a confused look on his face. "I-I don't know."

"Hmm." Bansha let her sword dangle at her side. If he was acting, he was doing a very good job of it. Maybe...

"Does the name "Indigo" mean anything to you?" she asked. He looked back up at her, meeting her eyes for a few moments, before shaking his head.

"No. Should it?" the scared look in his eyes was mostly gone. He must not have forgotten the danger of weapons.

"...no. Do you remember anything at all?" Bansha asked, sliding her sword back into its sheath. She was convinced now that he was telling the truth.

"I remember... a blond-haired boy. But I don't know his name. And another person. A man. He has blond hair too. I don't remember his name either." Morro replied. Lloyd, the green ninja, must be the boy. But who was the man? Maybe Wu. Bansha frowned. What did she do with Morro now? He was injured, and barely remembered a thing. She couldn't lock him in jail now. He, in a sense, was innocent. He had violated the law, but didn't know it.

"Your name," she said after a few moments. "is Morro."

"Morro." he repeated quietly. "You know me?"

"Well... sort of." Bansha averted her gaze. She would avoid telling him about her past if she could. He would most likely become their enemy again. "Not well."

"Oh..." he murmured. Bracing himself on a handhold on the wall, he rose to his feet slowly, wincing as he tried to put weight on his right leg. "I-I think I hurt my leg."

"You did. Don't try to walk on it." Bansha stepped over next to him. "Put your arm around me." she instructed. He put his arm around her shoulders and she did the same, supporting him with one arm. "Come. We'll go back to my... home." she instructed. He nodded and the two slowly, carefully, made their way out of the mountain, down the stairs, and back to Soul Archer's base.

"He has to be locked up."

"No!" Bansha argued.

"He violated the laws of the Cursed Realm by allying himself with those humans." Soul Archer folded his arms. "It is law that he be imprisoned."

"You allied yourself with a human." she pointed out. "And besides, he doesn't remember any of that. He doesn't remember anything. It would be unfair to sentence him for crimes that he didn't know he did."

"I am working with Chen for the good of all of us." he growled. "To get us out of this cursed place. No pun intended. What makes you so sure he did lose his memory, anyway? How do you know he's not just pretending?" he demanded.

"His behavior, for one." Bansha turned to look at Morro, who was sitting against the wall on the far side of the room, staring into space with his eyes half closed. "He's shown no malice around me at all. He even seemed afraid of me when I found him. And you know how much he used to hate me. And I mentioned his girlfriend's name to him. He didn't react. Remember how crazy he was over her when they were imprisoned here?" Soul Archer simply stared at her. She frowned. "Look, Archer, he's confused and injured. Someone needs to help him. Don't you care at all?" He was silent for a few long seconds.

"The people will insist that he is locked up." he said at last.

"Then we must protect him." she said stubbornly. Soul Archer sighed.

"If we must. Tell Ghoultar and Wrayth. But no one else." he instructed. "They are the only ones I trust." Bansha nodded, started to turn away. "And Bansha?" she paused and turned back at the sound of her superior's voice. "Keep him well hidden. If word gets out that he's here, We could all be in a very bad situation." he nodded at the master of wind. "Including him."

"Right." she nodded again and floated across the room to Morro, who looked up at her as she approached.

"Come with me." she said quietly, holding out a hand. He took it and she pulled him to his feet, supporting him with an arm across his back. Bansha led him to a deserted storeroom with some large crates lying around, leading him to the back. "Stay here." she instructed. "We can't let anyone find you, alright? I'll be back in a little while."

"Okay." Morro let go of her, limping over to one of the crates and sinking to the ground next to it and looking up at her. Maybe it was wrong, but she was glad he had been caught in that rockslide. He was so... innocent, now. And trusting. Despite the fact that she had hated him with a passion for the last couple of months, she felt very... protective of him, now. Maybe she felt sorry for him. Bansha turned and floated back to the doorway, glancing back to see Morro still watching her before leaving the room and shutting the door. Now to find Ghoultar and Wrayth...

Jay: Ninjago's resident idiot. (sorry Jay fans)
