Stone army just so men wearing stone like armor and I would also like to say that steps and plot came from a game called "ninja Love"… well a reading adventure type of game. Like I said in the summary, it's rated T for blood, violence and minor swearing. If you are not into those type of things, I would recommend not to read this story.
Chapter 1
I don't own Ninjago in anyway.
"Kai!" I call out to my brown spiky haired brother who is running to the monastery carrying the shopping.
"Come on sis! I'm carrying all of the shopping!" Kai laughs at me. It's not my fault. It was raining and I had sandals on and a kimono. Each step I took got faster and faster and bigger. I don't want to catch a cold. Finally, I caught up to Kai and just passed him when I saw the monastery.
"Ha! I bet you!" I exclaimed and jumped about. Kai walked in shaking his head and placing down the shopping but he suddenly stop. "What wrong Kai?" I asked but he didn't answer. I was about to ask again but he placed a finger to my lips.
"Stay here," he whispered and slowly walked down the corridors. I can't just leave him… can I? I slowly followed keep my distance a bit far. As I walked along the rug of the corridor leading to the living room, I picked up a broom stick in case if someone broke in. I looked down seeing blood on the ground. Next, I heard screams and shouts coming from the living room. I quickly fasten my pace to see my mum and dad laying on the ground… dead. I looked to kai with fear in my eyes. He was fighting off 3 guys with katanas.
"Nya! Run!" He shouted. Next, the 3 guys left my brother heading towards me. I was scared. What are they doing here? Why are they here? Why did they kill my parents? Why are they aiming to get me? "Nya! RUN!" I heard Kai shouted again. I snapped out of my thoughts and but into reality. The 3 guys were within a meter from me. I turned on my heels and dashed for the door.
"Come back here little princess!" one the of the guys yelled. Princess? Are they talking to me? I looked but to see them on my trail. They had to be talking about me. But why are they calling me a princess? Had they mistaken me for someone else. I had never been a princess although I dreamed of being one when I was little. I quickly ran out of the paper screened doors and onto the pavement in front of the house, entering into the cold rain. I keep on running. Who are these peoples? There was so many questions being asked in my mind.
"Come back here!" I heard the other man said. Voice filled with anger and was so deep. I turned my head around to still see them chasing me. I ran out of the gates and around the block.
"Nya duck!" I next heard a voice echoed in my mind. I obeyed and I saw 2 golden and 1 silver shurikens flying over my head hitting each men on the chest where the heart would be. I looked to see a man in a white ninja suit with whitish-blondish hair and ice blue eyes giving me a chill down my spine. He walked over to me giving out a hand. Who are these people?
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you," he informed. I took his hand and lifted me up and took me back home after collecting his shurikens. Inside, I saw 4 other men circling around my brother. 1 one of them was an old man tending Kai.
"Kai!" I called. He looked at me and smiled weakly. I quickly ran to him and hugged him but he yelp in pain. Next I saw was blood all over me. "Kai?"
"I'm fine," he reassured as the old man placed a cloth over Kai's wound on his chest. He winches in pain. Why are they helping us? Who the hell are these people? I looked at all of them. The old man had a straw hat over his head and a long white bread and brown eyes. He had on a white man styled kimono. In his hand was a bamboo stick and the other had a tea pot… Why in the world would he bring a tea pot?
Another man had blond hair with side bangs. He had meadow green eyes. He was wearing a green ninja suit handling with a katana. There was also a man with curly black hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a black ninja suit with a scythe on his back.
I looked at the last one… He pretty cute… Brown wavy hair but ends just above his ears. His electric soft brown eyes pierced through mines. He was wearing a blue ninja suit with Nunchucks in his hands. He must of seen me looking at him. I quickly turned my gaze to my brother. At last, the old man sighed and look to me. Why did he sigh? Is Kai going to die? What's going on? Who are these people? How did they know we were in trouble?
"Kai will be alright," he reassured and placed a hand on my shoulder making me shudder at his touch.
"Who are you," I managed to say. "I don't mean to be rude,"
"I am sensei Wu, And these are my students," he replied pointing to the blue, black, green and white ninja… then he pointed to Kai.
"And we are here to protect you," The black one said. "My name is Cole,"
"Why me?" I asked. Protect me?
"Nya…" Kai sighed and looked at me then at Wu. The old man nodded his head. "I am not your brother… when you were a baby, you were part of a royal family. As soon as you were born, you were placed with the role of the Ninja Princess,"
Ninja Princess? Kai's not my brother? Who the heck are these people? How am I part of a royal family?
"I know it's a lot to take in but one day, someone killed your real parents. Just before your father died, he asked my dad to look after you and protect you. The only reason that someone killed your parents so he can get to you… As me and the other ninja grew up, we were trained to protect you in the future," Kai explained.
"But… but," I whispered. I looked at them all. I shook my head. This must be a dream! I can't be a princess! I couldn't take it. I just ran out, luckily the rain stopped but this can't be true. Me? A princess? Not just any princess a ninja princess. What is that? I just ran away. Away from him. Away from them. Away from that place.
"Nya!" I heard my fake brother called after me but I'm not going back to him. He tells me now! Why not before? I looked around to see the cute blue one running to me. Boy he was fast. He's like the speed of lighting. I ran faster and into the woods.
"Nya!" This voice wasn't Kai's. It sounded much nicer and not as cross as kai's. I looked behind to see Blue just behind me. I duck underneath a tree that must have fallen over and I jumped over another. I looked back again. He was still following. "Nya please! We just trying to protect you. Please come back,"
I didn't answer. I need to get away from him. My eyes sting as the salty tears fell down my cheek. My sight became more blurry. Suddenly, I felt something hit my right foot. I tripped over it. I held out my arms to soften the fall. I expected to hit pretty hard but instead… I felt strong arms around my waist.
"No!" I snapped and tried to run out but he's tighten the grip just slightly.
"Please… we just want to help you… trust me," He spoke softly. Should I? I mean trust him? I guess I can trust him but not Kai. Why didn't his parents or him told me I was a princess or they were not my real family? I stopped struggling and looked at the blue ninja. He smiled softly. I smiled back. "My name is Jay," He introduced until the other ninja and Wu got here. I should have known Kai is not my brother. We both have different hair and eye colors. That's must also be why he is so protective of me.
"Nya… are you ready to listen now?" I heard Wu said. Jay released me and I stood on the ground. I nodded. "Like Kai said, you are a Ninja Princess meaning you must be able to unite all the ninja in Ninjago to fight Lord Garmadon. So far he had gather an army called 'The stone Army'. With your help, we will be able to fight off Lord Garmadon,"
"Because my title is the Ninja Princess… does that mean I have to train to a ninja and a princess?" I asked nervously.
"Well, not now because we need to get to Ninjago City first. Once you get their, your training begins so you can protect yourself but for the meantime, the others and I need to see what Garmadon and the stone army are doing. For your safety, you need to travel with one of the ninja on your way to Ninjago city," Sensei explained. "Now let's walk back to your house,"
Great… I have to train and be a princess… But the same question keeps on popping up in my head. Why me? But then another popped up in my head. Who will I choose to protect me? Not Kai… not what after he done to me… All these years he lied to me. I sighed. Too bad I don't know all of their names… Only Kai's which is pretty obvious. Cole's, Jay's and Wu's. What is the green one and the white one named?
"So who will you choose Princess?" Wu asked as soon as he entered home.
"Well…" I muttered. How am I going to put this? "I don't know everyone's name… I don't know who's more protective or not,"
"Oh… this one," Wu started and then he pointed to the green one, "This one is Lloyd… my nephew and the white one is Zane… I would strongly recommend Cole or Lloyd, they are the strongest but are pretty bad at defending,"
"Hey!" Cole and Lloyd barked almost on the verge of punching Wu.
"Shut up you two!" Jay hushed. I giggled. Truth hurts doesn't boys?
I will not recommended Kai since he's hurt," Wu informed pointing to Kai's bandage around his chest. That's fine by me.
"Ok but… who's good at what?" I asked politely… I must be annoying by now asking too many questions.
"Cole is great at strength and power, Lloyd, power. I'm pretty sure you know that Kai is great at power and speed as well. Zane, defending and logic. He thinks ahead and comes up with the best plans. Jay, he's great with Survival and Defending, he's as quick as lighting and climb as fast as a monkey,"
I thought hard. If I'm getting attacked by a lot of people… Cole or Lloyd would be great to help out but can't keep an eye on me well… Kai… not at all! Zane… defending but logic? He so quiet as well. Since he told me to duck with the other 3 men. Jay? Defending is great. He's fast which is very handy and climbing the trees as fast as a monkey. If we get attack, we can get away quickly or travel to Ninjago City quick. Jay is my choose.
"Jay," I told them all. Kai eyes widen as well as Cole's. "What?"
"Jay is a bit too immature," Kai informed.
"And he's like a little kid… most of the time… ," Cole added.
"Do not!" Jay burst out with his cheeks red. I giggled a bit.
"Guys guys, stop fighting and shut up!" Lloyd yelled over the 3 conversation. Zane, Wu and I sat in silence while the other 4 fight each other.
"SHUT UP!" I heard Wu's voice boomed in my ears. The other 4 stops and stood in a line and bowed a tiny bit.
"sorry Sensei," they apologized… They're so… I can't find the words. Loyal and elegant. Is that it?
"The quicker we go, the quicker the princess is at Ninjago City and the quicker we can see what Garmadon is up too," Sensei Wu said drinking tea from his tea cup.
"At least it stopped raining," Kai muttered starring outside. Ninjago City is over 60km from here…
