Hello! This is my first fanfic and I am super excited!
This story is inspired by a story called Undercover, written by ZaneLoverFan88, so go check her profile out.
I have about 10 chapters of this story written on paper from before I had an account, so it should update fairly quick.
I know some people don't like when OCs have no backstory, but Flame's will be revealed later in the story.
I will try and update every day, but please don't get mad if I don't! :)
Please review and PM with ideas! Thanks!
Believe in yourself, believe in unicorns, and keep writing!
Chapter 1: A New Life
Flame's POV
I walked silently along the bottom of the volcano, a strange habit of mine. I was pondering a subject on which I had pondered since I learned to talk.
Why had my parents named me Flame?
I always considered it an abnormal name; in fact it wasn't even a name! It was a thing!
As I was walking and pondering, I saw an old man with a long white beard, a bamboo staff, and a weird-looking cone-shaped hat.
'Who is he?' I thought to myself.
I mentally shrugged and kept walking, not bothering to wonder who the strange man was.
Being a ninja was hard. My parents were also ninja and were training me in their ways. I am already a master of hand-to-hand combat and with double katanas. I'm still learning how to use two pairs of nunchucks at the same time though.
As I continued to walk and think, the old man slowly made his way over to me. I just ignored him, thinking he was observing the volcano or something like that.
"Hello there." I heard the old man say.
I jumped, startled, and started walking faster, thinking he was cuckoo or something.
"Please, stop!" the old man said, "I'm not going to hurt you Flame!"
'How did he know my name?' I thought. 'Is it good or bad that he does? Wait a second…I'm a ninja! I can take an old man!"
I stopped walking, then swung around to face the old man. Sadly, I had left my weapons at home, so I was stuck with just my fists and feet.
I jumped into battle stance, ready to fight.
The old man sighed and said, "I don't want to fight you."
I didn't move, "Then what do you want?" I asked.
"I want you to come with me, for I see something special in you," he replied, "I am Sensei Wu, sensei of the 4 ninja who saved the citizens of Ninjago multiple times! I can make you a better ninja, Flame."
I processed everything he just said, "Wait, the sensei of those 4 show-offs?" I asked.
He nodded and I thought some more. 'A better ninja? Yes! But...does that mean I would have to work with the biggest show-offs in Ninjago?'
"So?" he asked.
I snapped out of my thoughts, only to realize I was still in battle stance and looked about ready to take the guy down! I quickly stood straight and asked, "Where would you train me?" thinking the man was just going to train me in a big open field or something.
"In my monastery of course!" he said. I mentally face-palmed.
'How could I be so stupid! That's where he trained the show-offs!''
I thought about his offer, "Would I have to live with you?" I asked, a little scared that living with him meant living with the show-offs.
"Yes, but I promise you will feel at home."
I pondered the subject for a while.
"Ok, I will train with you..but only if my dog Kindling can come, too!"
"Your dog may come." Sensei said. "Pack your stuff and meet me at the bottom of the Mountains of Impossible Height when you're done."
Before I could reply, he briskly walked off.
On my walk home, I thought about what living with Sensei Wu and the 4 ninja would be like. Finally, I reached my old home. It had no windows of any kind and was only decorated with a small picture of the volcano that I took a few years back. Inside, there was only a couch, desk with a notepad and laptop, and a giant bookshelf stuffed with books.
I didn't bother turning the lights on, I liked the dark. I packed all my stuff in a black backpack (I didn't have much) and grabbed Kindling's leash off the desk. Her 'dog house' was inside and was in the far corner of the house. When she had seen me enter, instead of jumping at me, she just perked up, like the trained dog she was. When I grabbed the leash, though, that was a different story. She heard the jingle of the tags and jumped up, sprinting to me and grabbing the leash in her jaws. I giggled and took it from her, attaching it to her collar. I picked up her food and water bowls along with some extra dog food I had. I had to grab a very large, purple tote bag out of the closet and place Kindling's dog bed in it, along with the rest of her stuff, which consisted of some toys,bones, bowls, food, and blanket.
I walked out the door silently, Kindling as well as if she knew we were leaving for good. I looke back at my lifelong home, and walked to the Moutains of Impossible Height, leaving the picture of the volcano still on the wall next to the door.
That's the first chapter! Thanks for reading! Next one should be up soon. If you liked it please review.
Thanks to everyone!
