"I'll see everyone after school."
"Bye dad!"
A red mini van pulled out of Ninja High School, leaving five kids outside of the school. There were four boys and one girl.
One wore a bright green t-shirt with brown pants and pine green running shoes. His wavy blonde hair bounced with every step he took. The boy to his left wore a light blue t-shirt and darker blue track pants with blue and white sneakers. He had short red hair and a bright smile. Behind them, another boy rummaged through his black backpack. His orange sleeveless shirt hung around his muscular figure. He had black pants and running shoes to match his shaggy black hair that fell in his eyes.
Then a girl and a boy stood side by side, the boy with a hand on the girl's shoulder. He had short blonde hair with white shirt and ice blue jeans. His white running shoes were still bright and clean. The girl had a red dress that fell to her knees. A pair of red sneakers with laces like flames. Her brown hair, which normally fell past her shoulders, was tied in a ponytail.
"So, you ready for today Kyra?" the kid in green asked.
"You bet!" the girl in red, Kyra, replied with lots of enthusiasm. "What about you, William?"
The boy in green, William shrugged. Everyone was coming together to train under Sensei Lloyd Garmadon, William's father. After their parents had dropped them off, Lloyd took all their stuff back to his house so they aren't dragging it around with them.
"I better be off to class," the boy In white said. "I missed class yesterday so I have to catch up. See you guys at lunch!"
"Bye Sam!" William called.
Sam left the group, leaving the four kids to walk in together. They all were in the same hallway, but different classes. It didn't matter to them though, since they still got to hang out.
"So Brock, did you remember to grab your pencil crayons for class?" the kid in blue asked his classmate in orange and black.
"I don't want to get into trouble man," Brock replied, opening his locker. "Of course I did Jason."
"Well, I brought mine," Jason chuckled.
Meanwhile at the other end of the hall, Kyra and William were getting settled. Kyra placed her bag inside and pulled out her books.
"So, what do you wanna play in class?" Kyra asked.
"I'm still debating between Trumpet and Saxophone. I don't know," he sighed, closing his locker.
"I think I want to play flute," Kyra told him.
"Sure, like your graceful you klutz," another girl said.
Kyra jumped and dropped all her books. The other girl laughed at her.
"Leave Kyra alone, Teana!" William yelled defensively.
"Or what, greenie," Teana taunted.
William growled at her.
"William," Kyra whispered to him. "She's only trying to get you into trouble by starting a fight. Ignore her and if she won't quit, we'll tell our teacher."
"Listen to your girlfriend, William," Teana mocked him.
Anger ran through William's veins, but he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He looked Teana in the eyes.
"You are just a jerk who thinks you can mess with other people by bullying them," William said to her face. "I'm not going to allow it to control me. You should just leave us alone before I get the principal involved in this."
Teana huffed and stormed off. Jason and Brock watched and approached them.
"Nice going, Bro!" Brock smiled.
"I thought you were going to blow like in elementary school," Jason added.
"I just went to my happy place," William told them.
"Which is?" Kyra wondered.
"A place where I can beat the crap out of her and not get into trouble for it," William grinned.
"Of course," Brock laughed.
With that, their classes began.
After school, they grouped up in the front hall, outside the office. Sam was the last to join them, with Ms. Lexi walking beside him.
"I must speak with you five," she said.
"What did we do wrong?" Kyra asked, scared.
"You did nothing wrong," Ms. Lexi replied. "I just need to speak with you."
William took Kyra's hand and walked with her into the principal's office.
"Take a seat," she said.
They all sat down in front of Ms Lexi. Kyra was panicked. She never liked being in the principal's office. Even with friends.
"If this is about the food fight in the cafe today, it wasn't us," Brock burst out.
"Oh no no no, nothing about that," she said. "If am aware you were all helping Mr. Blair with the gardens. Thanks you for that. Anyways, it's about this."
Ms. Lexi showed the kids a picture of them in the park when the snakes attacked. Their eyes were wide in horror. Ms. Lexi knew their secret.
"It's alright, I haven't told anyone," she said. "I knew your parents. Nice people, but always getting into trouble. I want you to know, I'll be alerting you teachers about this….."
"No, you can't, " Sam blurted out.
"No one is suppose to know," William added.
"If I tell them and something occurs during school hours, you will be granted permission to leave to save our world," Ms. Lexi told them. "They will swear never to tell another soul."
"I think it's fine and for the best," Jason said with Brock nodding in agreement.
"I guess I'm in," Sam sighed.
Kyra looked at William, concerned.
"I'm in," William said.
"Kyra," Ms. Lexi said, waiting for her response.
"If the others think it's safe and for the best," Kyra hesitated. "I'm in too."
"Thank you for your time," Ms. Lexi smiled as they left. "Be safe ninja."
They walked outside and started for their new home. They chatted the whole way back, laughing and thinking about their adventures to come.
Meanwhile, evil was starting to rise. The ninja had no clue what was to come. On a small island off the coast of Ninjago, a robot was preparing his revenge on the ninja. He knew that taking out their kids would create havoc and make their parents, the original ninja, really depressed.
"Master, we are almost ready for our first attack on the ninja," a smaller robot said.
"Good," he replied, softly.
His voice was robotic, evil and scratchy. His red eyes beat with hatred. The smaller robot left to finish preparations as he thought
"I want that nindroid to pay," he thought out loud. "And if I have to take his son down to do so, then so be it."
He laughed evilly as many robots behind him worked on airships and weapons. Packing supplies into a larger helicopter.
"Tomorrow is our day. Tomorrow is the day of the nindroids!"
