Stuck in the Past (Sequel to Stuck in the Future)

Thanks for all of the votes and comments on the last chapter, I'm so happy, so thank you all! Here's chapter 2!

Present Day

"Push, Jay, Push!! You can do it!" Cole said, glancing at a timer, " Only 15 seconds!" Jay groaned as he lifted the 75 pound bar above his head, then back down. Up, then down. Over and over again. He was sweating like crazy, his face beat red from the exhaustion and effort he was giving.

15 seconds too long. Jay thought as his arms shook more violently than before.

" Ten seconds!" Cole shouted. Ten seconds, that's all. You got this, Jay, you got it. Jay thought, but then his arms gave out, making the Blue Ninja lose his grip on the weight. He was barely hanging on to it. I don't got it! I don't got it! Then, the weight slipped, falling onto Jay's chest.

"OWWWW!" Cole laughed at Jay's complaint. The Black Ninja lifted the exercise bar off of his team mate with ease, soon helping Jay off of the exercise mat.

" You did good, but had 3 seconds to go. You know what that means, right? Same exercise tomorrow. 75 pounds, fifteen minutes." Jay groaned, soon leaning up against the wall. He was too tired to fight back. But, he could still beg. He looked over at Kai, giving him puppy-dog eyes.

"Kai, please, help?" Kai shook his head.

"Nope, Jay, you need to gain some more muscles, this is good for you. You may be fast, but you also need strength. Take it from a guy with an eight pack. Trust me. You need this."

Jay turned to Lloyd, pleading with his eyes. Lloyd smiled a sad smile.

" Sorry, but I'm with everyone else on this one. Don't bother asking Zane, he also highly approves of Cole training you to get stronger. Give up, Jay, and just roll with it."

Lastly Jay looked over at Nya, who, in response, flexed her muscles.

"Your turn, Jay, show us your muscles." Jay lifted his arm, and flexed. No major difference in size was seen on his arm. Jay sighed. He knew that they were right, but this still sucked.

"Ok, ok, fine. I'm grabbing water. A CUP of water." Jay added after he saw Nya prepare to blast him with her element. She giggled as her now-fiance bolted out of there.

Jay had proposed just a few weeks ago, of course she said yes. Now, she couldn't help see her and Jay grow old together, and have a family. But she, because of her trip to the future months before, knew that she may die soon after they have their first child, a bright girl named Maya. But, they would avoid Nya's death as much as possible going forward.

After Nya died in the future, a whole chain of events took place, changing Jay's, and Maya's, life for the worse. Jay lost his memory, being kidnapped and controlled by his own biological father, and Maya grew up without her parents around. Luckly, when Kai and Nya were stuck in the future, they helped Jay and stopped the Time Twins, soon coming home, solving a fair amount of the future's problems. It was hard to believe that that adventure had happened months ago.

She and Kai had not told anyone, but Jay and Nya had told the others about Skybound a month ago. They were shocked, to say the least, but they soon understood why they kept it a secret. One, it was hard to explain, and two, they were bad memories, especially for Jay, who had been imprisoned by Nadakhan, and watched the love of his life die. Not happy times.

Kai and Nya had agreed to never tell the team what had occurred in the future, as it could mess up the timeline, but found themselves talking about it in private. The memories they developed then were memories they wanted to keep.
