Kailor

Kailor is the het ship between Kai and Skylor from the Ninjago fandom.

Tournament of Elements
When Kai and the other ninja confirmed Zane was alive in “The Invitation”, the noodle shop owner invited them to a tournament. At the port, the ninja fell in line with the other participants. A hooded figure turns her face around towards Kai, infatuating him. Lloyd advises the Ninja of Fire to not let anything distract them. Kai sheepishly agrees, still fixated at her. Aboard on the way to the island, Kai asks Lloyd’s father who is that same girl in orange, to which Garmadon does not know. When another Elemental Master harasses her, Kai tries to intervene but they want him to stay out of that. Kai and Karlof duel, to which the latter has the upper hand. Clouse stops them, and Karlof leaves. The hooded girl apologizes to Kai for being “cold” to him and helps him stand up, extracting some his power to her in the process. Everyone then takes a look at the island at sunrise.

In “Only One Can Remain”, the ferry docks at Chen’s island and the participants enter the castle. The ninja, Garmadon, and the hooded girl are the last to exit. Kai makes way for her as they walk the stairs by pushing aside the ninja and Garmadon, citing “ladies first” and fire melting her icy heart.

Kai gradually started to have a crush on her. Skylor soon was revealed to return these feelings, as they allied with each other to escape the island and defeat Skylor’s evil father.

When Master Chen makes Skylor and Jacob fight, Kai roots for Skylor. They both work together to defeat Master Chen and then they hug. Chen captures the ninja and Skylor tells Chen to spare Kai.

In “The Corridor of Elders”, Kai was in one of the noodle trucks while Skylor monitored them aboard the Bounty. Later, both were two of many who defended the pass against an army of pseudo-Anacondrai. After Chen and the army were banished to the Cursed Realm, Kai wishes Skylor to join his team, while Skylor thought of succeeding the ownership of her father’s noodle shop. She was about to kiss Kai, but Dareth interrupts, wishing to bring the puffy potstickers back on the menu.

Sharing similar experiences, Skylor reassures him that just because if his parents are villains doesn’t mean he’ll need to follow the same path as them.

When Kai and a disoriented Cole were trying to escape Pythor’s army, Skylor jumps in to replicate their elemental powers. She greets Kai by calling him “hot shot” which he smiles at.

In “Compatible” Kai helps Skylor by heating up the stove fire. He then tells her that he wants them to become a couple. Skylor complains about his timing during a huge crisis, pointing out his disappearance like he forgotten her. He apologizes to her and explains a lot of stuff has been happening to him. She tells him once it’s all over, they can talk about them.



While Rebuilding the Monastery, Kai leans in to kiss Skylor only to get disrupted by Dareth.

Quests for The Lost Powers
After Kai lost his powers in the events of Crystalized, he starts thinking there’s no use for him to fight anymore. Skylor tries to encourage him to fight against the crimes in Ninjago city, but he says that Ninjago has an excellent police force. Suddenly, a group of robbers called the Rotten Rabbits break in to the noodle house. Kai tries to fight, he quickly got defeated. Skylor jumps in, fighting the robbers until they retreated. She helps Kai get back up, he tells her that he is useless without his fire powers. On TV, it broadcasts a village getting terrorized by a group called the Fire Friends, Kai remembers when Aspheera stole his powers and created the Fire Fangs. If he could defeat them, he might get his powers back. He rushes to head off to the village, but Skylor stops him. She advises him to change his clothes and get a good nights sleep before heading off. She’ll accompany him on his journey, but he tells her to stay back, saying it is his quest. She promises she won’t get in his way, saying it could be a nice trip for the two of them since they’ve never properly dated. Kai protests that he keeps visiting the noodle shop every night, but Skylor doesn’t those count that as one. Kai agrees that Skylor can come with him.

The next morning, Skylor picks up Kai on a delivery vehicle. She compliments Kai’s outfit and hair style, he thanks her, saying she looks great too. Arriving at the village, the villagers immediately crowds Kai. A man says that he heard what had about what happened to Kai of losing his powers, making him frown. Skylor tells the man saying he is still a ninja. Suddenly, a group of Fire Fiends attack the village, Kai follows Skylor running away from the falling fire balls. Kai launches a spinjitzu tornado. He was able to kick a few of the Fire Fiends but keeps getting singed when making contact with the fire. Skylor says she has a plan, but Kai cuts her off, saying he’s got this. Skylor knocks down a huge water tower, the Fire Fiends get caught by the wave of water. Kai launchs another spinjitzu tornado, this time he was able to defeat them one by one. The remaining Fire Friends retreat. Kai thanks her by muttering. He tells her again that it’s his quest, he isn’t sure if he can get his powers back when he has company. Skylor tells Kai that he should know that working as a team is better than alone, mentioning his ninja friends. They drive off to the Lake of Fire in silence.

At the Lake of Fire, Skylor suggests they should take a quick break before entering the cave. So they they hide behind a giant rock. Kai sneaks into the cave and Skylor tries to stop him. Kai nearly falls into a crater of fire below, luckily Skylor manages to catch his arm in time and pulls him up. Skylor points out that he triggered a booby trap. Instead of thanking her, Kai gets angry telling her that she doesn’t need to be here and saving him. He then shouts that he doesn’t need Skylor, which hurts her feelings hearing him say it. Skylor wishes him a good luck and runs off to the cave entrance to the delivery vehicle. Kai felt regret, but he quickly brushes it off. He knows Skylor was trying her best, but he wanted to this quest alone. He remembers Skylor statement about booby traps, he carefully avoids any cracks and possible dangers in the cave’s path.

While Kai fights the Fire Fang, he gets knocked on the ground. Kai manages to roll out before the Fire Fang’s blasts him, but the Fire Fang knocked out a pile of rocks on top of Kai’s legs making unable to escape. As the Fire Fang was about to send another fire blast, Skylor jumps between Kai and the Fire Fang, blocking the blast with a lid of a metal garbage can. Kai gets up and they ran off to the tunnel heading to the Lake of Fire. He stops to look at Skylor, saying “You didn’t leave me after all”. She shrugs saying she kept an eye on him. Kai realizes he can’t protect others unless he lets other people protect him too. His fire powers return, Skylor cried out. The Fire Fang’s cry approaches closer, Skylor touches his arm replicating his powers. They shoot fireballs at the enemies. Kai manipulates a torch making it flow, Skylor follows manipulating two torches. She attacks the army of Fire Fiends until her powers ran out. Kai returns the favor to Skylor for saving him a bunch of times, he forms Spinjitzu knocking out each Fire Fiends. After the battle was over, Kai whirled over to Skylor for a high five.

The Fire Fang emerges from daylight, Kai tells Skylor that he’s got this, this time he really means it. Skylor grins as she’s glad to see the old Kai back. Kai then shouts for Skylor helps to finish the final blow. After defeating the Fire Fang, Skylor asks what to do now. Kai replies that Lloyd and Master Wu might need their help. But first, they needed to celebrate, which Skylor agrees to. She starts the engine and they drive off to Ninjago City.
