THE GUARDIANS
Part One: The Eight.
Chapter II. More Human.
"SCHOOL?!" the blue ninja asked dramatically after a few moments of silence following the Green Ninja's news.
"We have to go to school to find the rest of the Guardians?" asked Cole.
"Yeah," James replied. "All of you will be seniors except for Lloyd and Nya. Nya will be a junior and Lloyd will be a sophomore. And Zane won't go to school with us; he will stay here and watch the house. He's a robot, he doesn't need school, and someone has to stay here with my mother and guard the house in case Rikayla's soldiers happen to show up. You all don't seem too excited… are you with me?"
"Well…" pondered Kai. "It doesn't sound like it would be that bad going to school..."
"I agree; we already know a lot of the people who would be there," Lloyd added.
"Yeah," said Cole. "So don't be so dramatic, electro-mouth."
"Hey!" shouted Jay, indignantly.
"And they can't know we're Elemental Masters or that we have powers and all that. Some of my most trusted friends know, but keep a lid on it. The world isn't ready; being exposed would complicate things…"
"Makes sense," replied Cole.
"Why do they have to be in school with us?" asked Zee.
"Well," the Green Ninja answered, "I can sense the presence of potential Guardians; but since we have to be really careful about making sure we pick the right people, it's better to look at how nature reacts when more than one of us is around potential Guardians than just trusting my impressions. The Guardians are supposed to be people I'm friends with, and they all go to school with me, so..."
"So you want us to be near you when you're around your friends who might be Guardians? To cause a reaction in nature if they are one?" asked Morro.
"Exactly."
"But James, we're not going to be able to hide from them for long," Morro stated. "If someone touches me, or Cole, they'll go through us and that'll be it for hiding."
"Not necessarily; I have a solution for Cole. When we disguised you, Morro, only sight was fooled in the beholder. But Cole is a Guardian; he can learn to fool all of the senses."
"Wow, that's cool," Cole remarked.
"Do you have a solution for me?" asked Morro.
"You already have your solution," James answered with a hint of a smirk on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"Morro, are you concentrating on sitting on that couch?"
"Well… wait, no I'm not! What?"
Morro moved around on the couch and found that he actually had to concentrate to go through anything now.
"This is weird," he observed. "Usually I have to focus to stay solid and touch stuff, but now—"
"Now, you have become so perpetually happy that it is making that aspect of your curse subside.. So, the solution to keeping you disguised has already been found."
Morro hugged Zee and said, "You make me so happy that I can feel things without giving myself a headache."
"And I can hug you whenever I want!" said Zee.
"You've made me more human... How can I ever repay you?"
"Just don't let me go."
"Never, I love you."
"I love you too, Morro."
The rest of the room simultaneously said "Awww" and Nya put her hand over her heart, saying that Morro and Zee were "the cutest."
It was the morning of the first day of school and the group was quickly getting ready. It had been about two weeks since they found out they would be attending school at Billingsley, and the ninja had actually grown excited to start. There was only one problem…
"James, how are you and all of your friends going to get to the school?" James's father asked while the group was on their way out the door.
The group only smirked back in response. Suddenly, Lloyd teleported off the porch. Then Jay grabbed Nya and did the same. Zee grabbed Morro and teleported, and everyone else except for the Green Ninja was soon gone from the house.
"Ah, so you did teach them how to teleport."
"Yeah, I taught the Guardians. I didn't get to teach the other Masters yet, but I will."
"You're not teleporting?" asked Ryan, laughing.
"No, I'm going to take my truck as usual to avoid suspicion. And I have to take my brother."
"Avoid suspicion? Won't a bunch of people teleporting to school startle someone at some point?"
"No, because they're not all going to the same place. Morro and Zee teleported to the library; it's not open til 8 so no one is there, but the door opens from the inside. Jay and Nya teleported to the music room, no one is there either. The rest teleported into random bathrooms."
"Is this why y'all insisted on leaving early?"
"Yep, and we'll need to every day."
"Got it. Well, have a good day!"
"I will; it should be a very interesting day."
Please review!
And I need you readers to give me your opinion on something. I'm planning on writing a backstory for the Green Ninja. It will likely start when he met Garmadon in New Orleans and there will be his and Diana's love story (I haven't given any details about it and she has hardly had a part in these stories, but I'd like y'all to see how important that character is to all this...) and the story will end with the Green Ninja leaving Earth to go to Ninjago. So it will end at the beginning of "Revelation" where the Ninja meet him.
So my question is, would y'all like to see that now as I continue to write this series (I will be writing both at the same time if y'all want to see that story)? How interested are you in seeing the story of the Green Ninja and how it all builds up to this series? Let me know, please!
God Bless Y'all.
