Titanium Promise
Chapter 1
Changing
The air was still cold, and their was still signs of snow on the ground. Little sprouts of flowers and leaves were starting to bloom. The air was brisk, but not to cold at all. Spring was drawing near.
The lake behind the temple still had fog rising off it. In the center of the lake was a small monument to a master that had been lost in time.
The doors to the temple opened and a silver colored ninja walked out with a laundry basket in hand. A younger person walked just behind him. In her arms was a small bag with cloths pins in it. Ty was her name. No last name, but it had been three months since she herself had came to live with the Ninja as Zanes daughter.
Ty was a young girl aged 17 technically, but was actually about the age of 12 by their calendar time. The difference of calendar was very confusing to most of the ninja so they just leave it alone and say she's 12 so not to confuse others. Ty just let them do it, she was smart, and she knew how to tell the difference...she just didn't care to.
Her relationship with Zane was mostly trial and error since Zane had never had children before, and his only experience with caring for children was Lloyd and they trained him to be a Ninja. Ty didn't have to be trained at all. She herself was a very powerful elemental, but she hardly used it unless she needed to. Her element was light.
What can a light elemental do? A lot. Aside from shining a blinding white light. Some light can become very hot and she could cause fires as Kai does. Although she can't control said fire like he could. Not yet anyways. Another thing she could do is shoot photons out of her fingers. She did it once or twice to cut things like paper, or sandwiches. Zane would hate to see her actually have to use said power at full blast.
"Another pin please." Zane said putting another sheet over the line.
Zane had learned that the previous world Ty had occupied didn't have color. So when they first got there all their clothing was taken and black ones were given to them. Which is why all she was wearing was black. It was a strange concept to just...not have color. He knew he was the white ninja and it was pretty devoid of color at all, but he was once the pink ninja and learned that all colors had their uses.
Zane gasped as a large snowball hit the back of his jacket. He turned to see Jay standing by a very small pile of snow.
"Uncle Jay that snow is dirty..." Ty said brushing the dirty snow from her fathers back. Ty sometimes acted way to old for her age and sometimes forgot to have fun. Sometimes Jay would remind her that it was okay to be a child still. Specially now that she wasn't always on the run. Nari her nemesis was gone and she didn't have to fight anymore.
"Oh really?" Zane said fashioning a snowball into his hand and dropped it onto her head. She gasped cringing as the snow fell down the back of her jacket. Zane could have swore he saw her hair stand on end from the sudden frozen temperature.
Her face went from shock to a evil, playful grin. She swatted at Zane who jumped back and gave off a tiny chuckle.
"Oh?" He asked slowly running over toward Jay. Jay laughed and jogged away from Ty who ran at him with a clump of dirty snow since it was all she could do.
"Get back here you..." She gasped slipping on the muddy ground. Jay turned back around and saw his tiny friend face down in the wet muddy grass left over by the melted snow.
"You okay?" He laughed knealing down in front of her.
"I...know where you sleep..." Was all he got out of her. Jay just laughed as Zane helped her up off the ground.
"Alright guys what are you doing to that poor girl?" Nya asked walking out onto the porch. "She's got mud everywhere! Come on Ty lets go to the hot springs." Luckily for them their was a hot springs right on the property. Ty loved it there, she and Nya would go their once a day to help with any sore muscles. Specially with the way Lloyds been training them after Master Wu disappeared. He wanted everyone at their best. Mind you it wasn't to bad, but mornings were normally filled with training, sparring, and jumping in the frozen lake. Although to Ty she was pretty sure the jumping in the lake thing was a personal challenge thing.
A loud crackle echoed through the yard of the temple. Much to their dismay four people walked out. In the very center was a tall woman with a very thin form. Her hair scrapped the ground, and her Kimono scrapped was very loosely worn. Her eyes were very lazy, but they swept back and forth in front of the Ninja and their charge.
"Oh dear...perhaps we're in the wrong realm?" Her voice was very posh and you could tell she came from a well off family at some point. "Excuse me...but could you tell me where we are?" She slowly walked toward Jay. Thats when she saw her, and Ty finally got a look at her too.
"Koma!" Ty looked really scared now. She didn't like this woman and clung to Zanes arm.
"Ty you know her?"
"You know how Nari was called father by those other three people?" Ty asked and shuttered. Looking at this woman was bringing back bad memories. "She's Nari's wife, and the other three are their other children. They're the clean up crew that comes in after Nari is finished with a world."
"So Nari is here?" Koma asked looking down at Ty.
"No...he's dead." Ty said. Koma gasped looking around at the others.
"My children?" Koma looked like she was about to throw a hissy fit.
"Nox is dead, but Mix and Dez have lost their memory. They are someplace in Ninjago. I won't tell you where. They are better off like this." Zane said.
"And you are?" Koma approached Zane.
"Stay away from him!" Ty ran forward using her light element to create a holo matter form of a sword.
"Oh tiny hero...where is your sister?" Koma asked.
"Not here..."
"She is under my protection now. You can see me as her father." Zane said. Koma shrugged her shoulders.
"I'll get what I need from you eventually robot. You'll see." Koma and her children disappeared from view.
"We better tell Lloyd." Jay said.
