Ahh, okay Eme3 here, I got really bored and have been procrastinating a long while on my other story, so I wanted to make myself feel better by writing about my new fav cartoon show, Ninjago! Is it weird that a high school student thinks this show is kick-butt? On to the chapter of unsuspecting awesomeness!
I do not own Ninjago or Lego or any of their characters :)
Ch 1: A Girl, a Boy, and a Tree
No One's POV
"I'm sooo starving, I would consume anything!" Jay moaned as his stomach concurred in the same loud fashion.
"I sense that your statement is false and improbable," Zane responded with a straight face.
"Look, Sensei Wu, what's that below?" Kai asked. The ninja had been trying to unlock their true potential, but in their blindness of only searching for the main result, they had got lost on the journey. They had seen no town for a few weeks and ran out of food supplies. Any variation in The Sea of Sand would be welcome and seen as a glimpse of hope.
"A home, it appears to be," Sensei Wu stated.
"In the middle of a desert?" Jay asked in bewilderment. Nya shifted the steering wheel and eased the flying ship into a descent. It landed gracefully in front of a large green patch of grass with an aluminum trailer in the middle (Mmm, toasty! Who would use aluminum in a desert!)
"Well? Aren't you going to knock? Soliciting is illegal in some parts of Ninjago," Sensei told his pupils. He gazed over to them and saw all four of his young crickets drooling slightly with wide, ravenous eyes peering beyond the trailer. Blocking the view on either side of the trailer surrounded by a picket fence was a lemon tree. Sensei Wu got out his Bo stick and smacked Jay, Kai, Zane, and Cole on the head.
"If you wish to receive greatness, you must first ask for it," Sensei Wu said wisely.
"Yes Sensei Wu," they all moped while bowing respectfully. They all then practically stampeded up to the door. Jay came to a screeching halt in front of the metal door, the others, not expecting this, ran into him, creating a giant ninja heap. Talk about stealth. They all dusted off and Zane pushed the doorbell. An old woman in a stained shirt and a wrinkled man in tattered overalls answered the door.
"Do you think we should have let Zane answer the door?" Cole whispered to Kai. "He's kind of... different if you haven't noticed."
"Probably not," Kai whispered back.
"Oh, hello dearies! How may I help you youngsters? We hardly ever have visitors around here," the elderly woman inquired.
"Excuse us ma'am and sir, from our flying aircraft that used to be used as an aquatic traveling device, we couldn't help but notice your household. We are lost and have been without food for several weeks. When we saw the beautiful flora you have in your backyard we were only reminded of our struggle for food. We were wondering if you could make a patronage to saving the world by keeping some good honest ninja alive by granting a basic necessity," Zane explained with a straight face.
"Wait w-what?" Cole questioned, utterly lost.
"I think he actually talked Jay in circles!" Kai said while Jay was stumbling about, ready to pass out from confusion.
"Well, hon, I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person. Our adopted daughter is the one you should be asking, she takes care of the garden for us. She should be out back. If you come through here there's a back door at the end of the household," she answered Zane in the same cheerful manner.
"We are in your debt and are obliged that you have let us into your dwelling," Sensei Wu bowed gratefully. As the ninja stepped through the house hold, they saw muddy water bubbling on the stove, a full sized, stained, roach infested bed on one end, and a hammock over the kitchen table, which was overflowing with bills and overdue fines from some previous house. However, as they entered the backyard, it was as if the Ninjago Gang had been teleported to a Garden of Eden. Stone led the way and encompassed a stunning fountain that acted as an irrigation system to herbs, fruit trees, berry shrubs, and all sorts of exotic plants. The elderly couple had retired back into their house due to the heat. The ninja called out for the daughter, but received no response.
"I don't think anyone would mind if we took a few grunkleberries from this tree just so we can survive a few more days," Jay said as he started to reach up into the tree.
"I assume you ninja will make the morally right decision," Sensei Wu stated as he poured a cup of tea out of his Lapis Lazuli teapot.
"Sensei! You said we ran out of tea two weeks ago," Cole exclaimed, taken back.
The Master blushed, but recovered, "You are mistaken, young cricket, tea, this is not. Hot water flavored with herbs, this is." The ninja all nodded and agreed that there was indeed a difference. (*faceplam*) Jay was about to snatch one of the grunkleberries high up in the tree when something smacked his hand away. It was a branch that was connected to the tree! The bark contorted into a grumpy man's face.
"No touchy," the tree-thing said as it wagged its finger back and forth.
"But we need something to eat!" Jay said, the only one not taken back by a talking tree because he was too hungry. He reached up again and again his hand was smacked away.
"Ah-ah, no touchy," the voice boomed.
"Ugh, if we can't make this annoying tree give up some of his berries, we'll just have to chop it down! It's only a tree anyway and once it is dead we can have all the fruit we want," Cole exclaimed as he took out his scythe. He prepared to swing at the tree and then lunged at it with full force.
"That isn't at all the morally right decision!" Sensei screamed out.
"If he swings at that tree it will lead to a catastrophic change of events! Oh, too late..." Zane said.
A streak of gold sped across the lush green landscape. Once Cole finished the swing, there wasn't the sound of a chop of wood, but more of a squishy, gut-wrenching sound. On the ground in front of the grunkleberry tree was a teenage girl with tattered overalls, a green tank top, a mop of curly golden-blonde hair, and piercing blue-grey eyes that were tearing up right about now. Worst of all, she had Cole's scythe wedged in her abdomen. A pool of blood was forming at the base of the tree. You think she would be crying over the large weapon gorged into her stomach, but that was not the case.
"You tried to kill Eddie!" she screeched at Cole with hate and tear filled eyes, her face contorted into anger. Cole just looked horrified as the girl before him passed out in a pool of blood (little red lego bricks actually), protecting a darn tree. If she died, it would be his fault, and her hating him would be her last thought.
What do ya think? Turns out I'm better at writing stuff faster when I don't use pen and paper... Review... You know you want to...!
