Hey everyone, I'm back and with a new story. So far I've done Cole, Kai, Jay, and Zane. But now this time it's not a ninja, but a samurai. Let's see how Nya's embarks her experience as either a hero or villain. Because we know Catwoman be either both.
Chapter 1: It All Started...
Nighttime was spread all across Ninjago City with the small autumn wind chills brushing over the city skyline. All was quiet with the occasional car passing by in the streets to then disappear into the next street. Neon signs flickered from many shops with the miniscule gnats bumping into the bright light, along into the street lights as well. The moon in the sky wasn't bright tonight, but in a faint crescent shape; almost like a cat's claw scratching through the dark blanket in the sky to let light through the veil. This was Ninjago City at the night, but somewhere in the large and semi-quiet city would be few prowlers stalking the night.
In a secluded alley, soft pads of paws stalked through the dirt path of the narrow alley until it found itself onto an open street. The light from the street lamp shined brightly to the sandy colored fur coat with specks of black fur running along its back and large blue eyes to mew softly and sat down. It ran its dry, sand paper-like tongue across its front paw to then rub it on its head to clean itself and stopped as it felt pampered to then look up at a building across the street to see a large ship on the roof. And from the ship, a slender figure had slipped out to then leap onto the building gracefully almost like a cat would. And with that, the Oroborus Mau mewed loudly to the person to make the figure turn its head to the cat to see the smile from the person and then left.
The cat purred to itself lightly and disappeared back into the alley to stalk the night.
It all started on the day that I died... Only there wasn't any mourning, funeral, or obituaries. Because it was also the day I started to live again. You may wonder on what I mean by this, but let's just take it back to the beginning.
Snip-snip-snip-snip
"Cut it out, Nya," a teen in a grey gi complained. "I don't see why I need this haircut to happen, it's perfectly fine the way it is."
Slender fingers gently pulled the burnet hair between her fingers to gently snip the ends with small scissors and repeated the process throughout his head. The girl, Nya, ignored his complaints to continue giving him a small trim. No matter how much he tried to get out of the chair. To her, he was acting as a bratty kid. And he was making things harder for her as he kept doing this. She huffed. "Oh quit complaining, Lucas," she snapped. "It's not perfectly fine as your bangs are starting to get into your eyes and if I don't do it now, you're going to get blinded by your own hair and wound up killed or even kidnapped. Look, even the others had one."
The Ninja of Water had to turn his hazel grey eyes to the others to huff to their cocky grins as they each had towels resting on their shoulders with bits of their snipped hair on them. To him though, he's never used to these when being the old apprentice to Lord Garmadon and used a dagger to cut his own hair before. "So," he huffed.
Nya sighed to him as she didn't want to care about his ignorance on this to continue trimming his hair. "You're lucky though I'm not having Cole and Kai holding you down while doing this, otherwise I will if you keep this up." she threatened him. "You're almost done, so quit squirming. You're acting like a little kid."
They all heard someone snorting in laughter to have Lucas turn to face his cousin as he was the only one without a towel on his shoulders. The green ninja had to smirk at his cousin to cross his arms over his chest as he relaxed against the table in the bridge of the Destiny's Bounty. "Geez, Lucas," he laughed. "I'd never thought you would act silly for getting a haircut. It's not like you're losing all of your hair. There's nothing wrong with it."
A smirk now flashed across the grey ninja's face as Nya finished with him to take his towel and rubbed his hair dried from the wetness of a spray bottle and any loose bits of hair. With it dried now and the towel resting on his shoulder, he walked up to his cousin to cross his arms across his chest. "You know when you put it that way," he smirked. "Maybe I should be the one who should give you your haircut and I'll hold you down as I do so. It's not like you're going to lose all of your hair."
The emerald green eyes of the boy went wide to his words to gulp and quickly ran out screaming. Nya sighed to give the burnet a glare as he scared off her last customer. "Nice going," she growled. "Now go find him so I can make it quick for him and I'll make sure to kick you out so you don't frighten him."
"Relax, I was teasing with him like he was to me." Lucas said to defend for himself. But he grew a bit uneasy to her glare. "All right. I'll go get him." He turned and left to find his cousin.
Another chirp of laughter had Nya turn to the blue ninja to smile softly to him as he walked over to her as she cleaned her hair kit for Lloyd when he's back. She couldn't hide her light blush as he couldn't either. "I got to say, Nya," he began. "You really know how to make a guy nervous to your glare. Like with threatening Cole or Zane."
"Well a girl gotta do what a girl has gotta do to make guys cooperate, right?" she laughed lightly to turn to Cole and Zane as they looked at each other nervously to her glance. She laughed to this a little bit more. "Point made. Of course Kai is never like this."
"Only because you're my sis and I grew up with you so it won't work with me." Kai remarked as he reapplied hair gel to his hair to sculpt his spiky feature. Thanks to his hair trim, he had to have his hair wet to ruin his spikes, but was glad now to fix them back to its normal spiky look. "No matter how much you try."
The raven haired girl had to snort through her nose with a smile. "I don't need to try." she said slyly. She checked the clock on the wall to sigh as it has been over five minutes since she sent Lucas after his cousin. "Laurie, you know any hiding spots your brother would hide in around the ship?"
The red head girl had to ponder on the question to look away to think on it. So many places her brother can hide into for being small that she had seen him do so. But what would there be ones her cousin wouldn't find him in. "Well... There's a few he has around the ship." she said, truthfully. "There's the shelves in the guy's closet, the vehicles in the garage, or even-" There was a loud familiar childish scream to have all turn their heads to the deck below them. "Or even one of the barrels outside for that matter. And I think that's where he was at."
The samurai turned to the door as she heard the green ninja complaining against the grey ninja to watch him try and squirm free from his cousin's arms as they entered the bridge. She sighed as this was now going to be difficult as the water ninja had to scare his cousin away, but grabbed the scissors as he was seated on the chair. "Don't worry, Lloyd," she said as she wrapped a fresh towel around his shoulders. "I'm doing this and will make sure the guys will keep him away. Boys?" She turned to watch Cole and Kai grab Lucas' arms and pulled him away to the ship's steering wheel. "Much better now." She grabbed the spray bottle to begin wetting his head and started snipping.
Time had seem slow to the girl as she worked on her Samurai Mech suit. After giving Lloyd his trim, the samurai retreated herself into the ship's garage where they store the vehicles to work on the exo-suit she used for when being the Samurai X. With her in the garage alone, it allowed her more concentration and quietness to work on her upgrades. Despite the outside noise with the Ninja training on the deck or even heading down to Dareth's dojo to train. But it didn't matter though as long as she got the quietness to work the exo-suit.
Sweat began to form on her thin brows as she struggled with the stubborn bolt with the ratchet, but finally gave out a grunt as she finished tightening it to sigh in relief. The muscles on her arms felt relieved to stretch them out for being tight and pulled herself from her stool to walk over to the tool box to put her tools away. And with them away, she hiked back to her suit to inspect it thoroughly to smile to herself as her hard work paid off to grab the red rag to dry her brows and clean off the dried oil coating her hands to grumble as some had dried underneath her fingernails. "Oh well... I'll take care of them later." she muttered to herself. "Now what?"
Rawn! Rawwnn!
The girl's ears perked to the small mewing sounds to notice they were of a cat's and it sounded like it was near and in trouble. Those were calls of help apparently. Following the sounds, the samurai found herself out on the deck to search for the calling cries to ponder. No one was around on the deck so she doubted they heard the mews as well. If it wasn't on the roof of Dareth's, then where?
Rawn!
The mews sounded near and closer to have the raven haired girl walk over to the ledge of the roof to peer down to see a sandy furred cat on one of Dareth's window sills that held an air conditioner to feel nervous as the cat stared at her. How did a cat managed to get itself on the third story window in the beginning? she wondered. She knew Dareth doesn't own any cats as he was allergic to them so it must be a stray then. But still, how did it get there still? "Hey don't move, okay?" she stammered on what to do. "I'll get you out of this."
Her chocolate brown eyes searched around for a way to snatch the cat up from the window, but couldn't find any rope or a basket to lift it up. She sighed to herself as she quickly rushed inside to enter one of the storage rooms in the dojo to open the window and looked out to see the cat remained as she told it to. "Okay..." she breathed to herself. "You can do this. It's a cat. I doubt they have actually have nine lives if it falls, but still."
Inhaling a deep breath to calm her nerves, Nya carefully climbed out of the window to hug her body tightly against the brick wall to carefully shim her way on the concrete ledge. She could feel her heart racing in chest after her eyes quickly scanned down to see how high up she was from the ledge to take a shaky breath and retraced her eyes to the cat as she got closer. Almost there... she said to her and tried reaching for the cat.
"AH! Nya, what are you doing!?"
Nya drew her eyes away from the sandy fur cat to see Jay racing over to the dojo with wide hazel eyes. She saw in his hands were bags of groceries from the errand she told him to do for her, but it that wasn't the important part. Right now, she's on the ledge to save a cat and Jay was panicking out below her. "It's not what it looks like, Jay," she stated. "There's this cat and-" She paused as the cat she was describing was now gone. She searched around for the feline animal to feel confused as it was gone just instantly. No way it had jumped down or jumped onto the roof. So where?
A brow raised from the blue ninja to her explanation to look around for a so called cat, but saw nothing. He didn't see a cat near her or anywhere on the block. So was she hallucinating on a cat then to be on a ledge and jump? No! That didn't seem moral of her. "Nya, I don't see any cat up, but please don't jump!" he begged her. "This is not like you."
Nya felt her jaw drop in disgust to the comment to glare at Jay for that. There was no way she was ever planning on jumping. Only on the ledge to rescue a stupid cat that was now gone to make her and Jay confused. Even spectators who were walking by started to notice what was going on to gather around the dojo. This made Nya nervous now as she was starting to draw a crowd to hope she wouldn't bring her brother and friends out to see her like this. "Jay, you know this is not like me," she said to try and calm him down. "But there was a cat up here but now it's gone and I don't know where. I'm going back in, okay?" She began to shim back to the open window to Jay smile softly to it, but with her eyes directed away from the window, it caused her to miss her footing to slip and felt gravity take hold.
Hazel eyes grew wide to this to quickly rush over to her while dropping the paper bags of groceries in the process. "Ninja-Go!" he shouted to spin into his electric blue tornado. His mastered arts in Spinjitzu raced down the sidewalk in rapid speed to spin underneath the samurai as she was near the ground and she disappeared within the vortex. And in the end, the tornado stopped to reveal the Ninja of Lightning with the girl in his arms. And the gathering crowd cheered for Jay's heroic stature for saving her.
She felt her cheeks burning up with embarrassment to this when she wasn't doing anything to begin with to shyly look away from the crowd and climbed out of Jay's arms. This won't end for a while and she knew it if someone must've reported this to the news media all ready. Even Jay blushed a little for the small rescue to wave to the crowd for a while but stopped to see Nya's beet red face to worried for her. "You all right, Nya?" he wondered to her safety and gently pulled her closer to him.
The blush on her face vanished soon to softly push him away. The embarrassment kept hold on her to not look at him in the eye. "I'm fine, Jay," she replied to watch the crowd soon leave to feel more relieved. "I'm fine and that's all that matters, right?" She saw the mask on concern on his face to feel worried on it. She sighed to it. "You believe me about the cat being there, right?"
A shook of the head from him made Nya worried now. Was she going crazy or something? "I didn't see any cat, Nya," he replied. "Just you and you alone. I was worried for you up there. I never thought you'd do such a thing. Are you all right? Is there something you wish to discuss with me?"
"There's nothing!" she snapped. "There was a cat up there and I was trying to save it. I-I need to go for a walk. That'll clear my head on this. There was a cat and I know it." She spun on her heels to head off into the streets to rant to herself.
Jay, watching her sulk off, remained in his spot to sigh. He had to wonder what gotten into her to see some cat when he didn't see anything at all. But he felt relieved to save her still, but what gotten into her still? He sighed still to pick up the grocery bags he dropped to see nothing was damaged to peek one last glance at the samurai before entering the dojo to wonder. "What has gotten into her?"
