It was a normal day...
Just like always...
My mom and dad were at work...
My big brother was at one of his friend's house...
I was happily home alone.
Why happily?
Because now I could watch Lego NinjaGo - Masters Of Spinjitzu without being ridiculed or teased!
I know it's a show targeted at young boys but hell, My Little Pony is targeted at young girls and yet it teaches life lessons to women, children, teens...
People of all breeds.
NinjaGo was my MLP.
NinjaGo was my life.
I had just gotten home from high school, a whole other realm of hell in my teenage life that I felt was only remedied by my favorite Lego ninjas.
I got off my bus and entered my house, mail already in my hand.
It was worth a few extra steps in the rain...
At least it was today.
Because I had ordered a new NinjaGo DVD off of Amazon...
I was ready to pilfer the mail in search of my prize but the phone rang. It was mom telling me she'd be late coming home.
So that meant I would have the house to myself until at least midnight.
Thank god it's Friday.
I flipped through the envelopes when the call was completed, looking at the addresses.
"Junk, junk, junk, bills, junk...junk..."
I grinned happily, for the final thing in the stack was a square shaped package with what felt to be a DVD case inside.
"Kyaaaaaa."
I squealed happily, taking the package with my name on it and doing a little dance with it.
I rushed to the living room and plopped down on the couch, tearing open the pack and pulling out the DVD.
It was so shiny and new and perfect and I loved it immediately.
The cover read: NinjaGo - The Truth, and it wasn't labeled with a season, and the ninja featured on the cover was my favorite ninja, Lloyd Garmadon.
What is this gonna be? I thought. Is is gonna be about the snakes? Maybe what happened to the Anacondrai? Or will it be about Garmadon and the whole endeavor with the Devourer.
I peeled the plastic from the case and went to my DVD player, placing the disc painted with Lloyd's masked face into the tray and awaiting the load with eager, button-happy hands.
The start menu popped up immediately, no dumb ass previews for Lego Chima or other crap like that.
Though something was strange about the menu. The NinjaGo for was dripping like wet paint, and the sequence that was playing in the background was not Lego animation...but anime, and very ominous, as Lloyd was hidden back in the shadows, and his eyes were aglow in the darkness...a deep greenish-brown.
I clicked into episode selection, not really paying too much mind to the intro.
"Dementiality Part 1, Dementiality Part 2, Dementiality Part 3..."
They were all labeled Dementiality.
It must be a movie.
I hit play, and grinned happily as Weekend Whip played in a strange new remix...
One I hadn't heard before...
It was kinda creepy...
And I really liked it.
"Episode One - Dementiality, Part 1" Lloyd said.
