All these reviews have made me so happy. I have decided to present this next chapter. Thank you to PixalatedNinjas and Jays for providing the names for the ninjas kids. I have chosen names from each of the lists.
(?'s POV)
I looked at my falcon and he nodded his head ready to act. This is how we work. My falcon distracts the villagers by either pretending that he is has been hurt or by stealing some fruit from a stand and everyone chases him. While they are distracted, I take the opportunity to steal the medicine and food. I don't like stealing but I have no choice. As a hybrid, I am not liked nor wanted by anyone.
My falcon gave me the signal that the villagers were distracted and I took this opportunity to steal the food. "HEY, GET BACK HERE YOU BRAT!" I heard someone shout. I quickly grabbed what I could and me and my falcon escaped. The villagers will never catch us and they can never enter my home anyway.
(Lloyd's POV)
We were walking towards this village hoping to get this mission over with since it was easy. "A thief?! We are being called to handle a thief! It is so weird and dumb." Jay complained. We all rolled our eyes in annoyance. "Stop complaining, Jay. The villagers need our help. Zane would want us to do this." Jay sighed. "You're right, Lloyd. Sorry, it's just Nyla is just learning to walk and just started saying her first words and Jason is starting to show that he can use my lightening element."
"I know how you feel Jay. But remember, this thief is stealing rare medicine that is hard for the villagers to get and is stealing food. According to what my sister said, the thief uses a bird or something to distract the villagers to steal the food. We need to catch the thief and see why he is stealing food and the medicine." Kai said. We all nodded. After a few hours, we finally arrived at the village. "Man, it is really cold here. I can't see why anyone would want to live here." Cole said.
"Well, this village provides the ice for all the ice cream back in Ninjago. At least, that is what Nya told me." Jay said. "While for whatever reason, they still need our help. Let's go." I said. Then we all entered the village. Everyone looked at us and smiled and they even cheered. 'They must really need our help.' I thought to myself. A man in a suit, who I assumed is the mayor, came up to us. "Welcome to our village, ninja! We are so glad that you could come help us."
"Anytime. Can we go somewhere warm to talk about this thief?" Cole asked. He nodded. "Of course, why don't we go to my office?" The mayor said as he started guiding us to his office.
(Kai's POV)
It took us a few minutes but we finally arrived at the mayor's office. "So, what can you tell us about the thief?" Lloyd asked. "Well, he came here about two to three years ago. It started out with small things like blankets, clothes, and some food. Then after a while he stole food once a week and then about a year in a half ago he started stealing medicine that we only get once a month. Rare medicine at that. Medicine that we use to help our ice shards."
"Hang on, Ice shards?" Jay said interrupting him. The mayor nodded. "Yes, these specific ice shards are what make our ice cream stay so cold. We give them the medicine to keep it cool through the summer and spring and the medicine is for our children when they get sick. Now that this thief is stealing most of it, our children while have to travel all the way to Ninjago to get the medicine. Can you help us?" The Mayor asked. We could all tell that they were desperate. They really need our help.
We all looked at each other and nodded. "Okay, we will help." I told him. "Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. I will be in my office if you need me." We all nodded and left the office.
(Cole's POV)
We all left the mayor's office and went to our temporary home to plan on how were we're going to catch the thief. "So, how are we going to catch this thief?" Jay asked as he sat down on the couch. "If the thief is stealing food and medicine then were could open a small booth that sells them both and it should attract him." Lloyd suggested. "That's sounds like a plan." We all nodded and started to form our plan to catch. I just hope we can get this over with so I can see my kids as well.
The next day
We all were waiting anxiously behind a booth that we built in one hour. We were all hoping that the thief would come by and take our fake food and medicine. Jay installed a tracking device in each of the items so we could track the thief to his hideout. "Guys, it's also 1pm. They never said when he would come." Jay complained. "Jay, stop complaining. The mayor said that the thief normally comes around this time of day when I talked to him this morning." Lloyd said clearly getting annoyed with Jay. "Fine. So, when will he come?" Jay asked. I was about to answer when I heard a falcon screech. We all looked around and saw a falcon crash into the snow. We all left the booth to check on it. "Hey, it's a falcon." Kai said. "It is okay?" Jay asked.
"Guys, who's watching the booth?" Lloyd asked. We all turned around to see a small white hooded figure taking all of our fake medicine. "Hey!" We all shouted. He turned around and then started to run away. Meanwhile the falcon got up, completely unharmed. "That falcon tricked us!" I shouted. "Who cares? We need to catch the kid!" Kai shouted. We all then started to chase after the thief. "Stop!" Jay shouted. No matter how fast we could run this thief seemed to be faster. Suddenly the thief stopped for a minute, he smelled the bag that he stuffed all the fake food and medicine in and dropped it and continued to run.
"How did he know that it was all fake? We even made it smell like the real deal." Kai said clearly frustrated. We kept chasing him till a snowstorm began to start up. "I don't get it. How is this snow storm starting? It's summer and the mayor said that these weren't common in warm weather." I said clearly confused. When the snowstorm stopped, the thief was gone. We all stopped and groaned. "Great. Now what?" Jay said.
"Hmm, did you guys noticed his height? I am pretty sure that this thief is a kid. I think he is about Skye's age." Kai said. "Wait, you think that this thief is nine or ten?" Jay asked. "So, we got beaten by a kid again?!" I shouted. Lloyd nodded. "Still, a kid stealing food and if he could tell that the food and medicine were fake, I think that the kid is a hybrid." We all looked at Lloyd. "You sure?" I asked. "Yeah, he wore a hood. I think it was used to cover his ears. But, yeah, I am pretty sure that the kid is a hybrid."
"Great, so we are dealing with a hybrid kid?" Jay complained.
(Lloyd's POV)
I didn't want to tell the others but I knew that the kid was hiding behind the bushes near us. "Hey, guys. We should head back and think of a plan to catch the thief." I told the others. They all nodded and we left the forest but I tapped on each of their shoulders and pointed to the trees and they nodded in understanding. We jumped on each branch to the spot where we were originally standing.
(?'s POV)
I was hiding behind the bushes waiting for these humans to go away. I just want to go home. I can't believe I was nearly tricked with fake food and medicine. If I brought that home, who knows what could have happened to my family? After a few minutes, they finally left. I let the breath I was holding go. I walked out from the bushes and looked around to see if they were hiding. I was about to walk off when suddenly I was grabbed by the scruff of my jacket. "Hey, let me go!"
(Lloyd's POV)
When the kid finally came out, I looked at the other and they all nodded to signal that they were ready. We jump out of the trees silently and I grabbed him by the scruff of his jacket. "Hey, let me go!" He shouted.
"Not a chance, kid." Kai told him. "Kid, you have been stealing food and medicine from all these villagers. You got an explanation?" Cole asked him. "I don't have to explain anything to you! Now let me go!" I was starting to get annoyed with this kid. Then I forcefully pulled off his hood and we all gasped.
"ZANE?!" We all shouted.
Leaving it at that. Hope y'all enjoyed this chapter. Please leave reviews. They are what keep me going. See y'all next time. Don't forget to fav, follow, and review.
