TASOO: I do not own ninjago, masters of spinjitzu.
Chapter 1: Technological dumbness
I walked up the steps to Dad's log cabin as I looked around. We lived in the middle of a lake in the middle of the forest. You had row a boat in order to step inside our house. Once you climb up the steps from the dock, you get to the living room, which of course, includes no technology. Just a few chairs and a computer. The kitchen has a wood burning stove and a cabinet, plus a mini fridge that took batteries to power up. We had a one bathroom and two bedrooms. Yep, that was out home. It wasn't much and my bed was made of wood, but my dad did that on purpose. If I had a perfect life and never had to worry about anything, I would be weak. Now, I am as hard as the nails that put together this house. Kendyl mailed the letter yesterday, and we already got a reply. She told him that I was coming too, and he seemed delighted to have more than one new student coming today. Now, I just have to tell my dad.
" Hey honey! Pancakes are almost ready!" My dad told me happily as he buttered the pancakes and added extra syrup. He set down my pancakes as I sat down in the breakfast nook in the corner of the kitchen as I ate the pancakes hunger.
" Mmm... Delifious." I commented with my mouth full as Dad chuckled.
" I gotta go to work again today sweetie." Dareth told me as I frowned. I knew something was up, after all he did cut my pancakes in the shape of hearts.
" But I only saw you for a half an hour yesterday!" I complained.
" Yea, well the dojo is getting packed. Isn't that great?" Dad asked me as I sighed.
" Yeah... it is. Oh yea! Kendyl got invited to Sensei Wu's academy! Can I go?" I asked him. He looked a little hurt, and I cant blame him. The Academy is a rival with the dojo.
" Sure sweetie. If it keeps you occupied while I'm gone. See you tomorrow okay?" He asked as I nodded. He kissed the top of my head as he left waving goodbye. As the door swung closed I jumped up and ran into my room, putting on my uniform and pulling out my cell phone at the same time.
KEN: WHERE ARE YOU?
BAI: MY DAD JUST LEFT, SHOULD BE THERE IN 10
KEN: HURRY UP! SCHOOL'S GONNA START ANY MINUTE
BAI: OH JEEZ ITS 10:00 ALREADY?!
KEN: YES NOW HURRY!
I jumped out the door as I called for the alligator's help. Sally, our pet gator came up and gave a growl that sounded like a purr as he turned around and allowed me to ride her. We soon got to the end of the forest where our pet cheetah, ( Yeah, we got a lot of wild pets ) Tuna, meowed for me to hop on. The spotted cheetah soon came to the front of the school as it dropped me off. I smiled and gave it a tuna fish I was sure to pack, as it ate it hunger shown brightly in her eyes.
" I will walk home, okay?" I asked the cheetah as she meowed and scampered off once she finished her snack.
" Bailey!" Kendyl yelled as she ran towards me and jumped up and down.
" Here it is! Sensei Wu's Academy! The ninja, Bailey, the ninja!" Kendyl urged as she pulled me inside. I looked around to see a set of groups, some six, some around nine, others around twelve, and the last around our age.
" Uh, yeah Kendyl its really... nice." I commented as I looked around. The bell rang as everyone lined up, corresponding to their ages. I followed Kendyl to the oldest group as they piled into Mr Zane's class. It didn't surprise me that we got Mr Zane, he was a computer, and that would mean that he got the oldest and the most skilled.
" Hello class. Today we will learn about what is inside the tornado of a spinjitzu, but first we have two new students, May I present you, Bailey and Kendyl." Zane told the class as he gestured toward us. I smiled at the class but all I heard were groans and rolls of eyes.
" Now, who knows who can use spinjitzu and why?" Zane asked the class. I immediately shot up my hand as the whole class yawned with disapproval.
" Yes, Bailey." Zane told me as I let my hand drop.
" There are 26 elements, Absorption Amber Creation Darkness Destruction Earth Energy Fire Form Golden Power Gravity Ice Imagination Light Lightning Magic Metal Mind Nature Poison Shadow Smoke Sound Speed Water Wind. The spinjitzu is unlocked when specific people that are connected to these powers, spin rapidly and unlock spinjitzu. The color of the tornado it creates corresponds to the power it possess." I answered as Zane's eye's grew wide.
" T-that's correct. Where did you learn such information about elements? Some of those elements I didn't realize existed." He commented.
" I learned it in a few books at the library." I answered as Zane nodded. All eyes were on me as I scrunched in my seat. A few hours of already knowing the answers questions went by as Kendyl stared at me. The answers came naturally to me, like I never knew the answer until the question was asked.
" Hey, Ms nerd wanna see do something fun?" A boy with black hair asked me as I raised my eyebrow.
" What?" I asked back.
" I gotta untro remote from new ninjago city. Wanna see if it works on Zane?" he whispered to me.
" No, I already amazed him, why would I want to do anything bad to ruin it?" I whispered back.
" Fine. Hey Mr Zane!" He yelled out to the teacher as he turned from the board.
" What is it, Brad?" He asked.
" can you check out this remote I found, there seems to be something wrong with it." Brad told him mischievously.
" Cant it wait? I'm in the middle of a lesson." Zane told him as he shook his head.
" No, it can't." He replied as Mr Zane sighed.
" uh, I wouldn't do that if I were you."told Mr Zane but he just ignored me as he approached brad. These ssecond he stopped in front of him, Brad turned the remote on as he started playing with it, Mr Zane following his actions.
" your gonna get yourself expelled you idiot!" I practically yelled as I took the remote. I tried to turn it off, but I just made it worse as blue electricity formed around the white headed teacher.
" Stupid technology. Uh, here you go." I told him as I have the remote back to brad. Brad told it greedily as he controlled Mr Zane, he got on the rest and started dancing like a dork.
" what's going on in here?" Mr Cole asked as he and Mr Kai came into the room.
" Brad got an ultra remote from New ninjas city and it's controlling Mr Zane!" I explained quickly as Cole grabbed the remote form Brad's hand and fiddled with the controls as fast as he could.
" How do you work this thing?!" He asked everyone, hoping for an answer.
" Hurry up Cole! My liquid spirit level is making me less...level!" Mr Zane complained as I looked blankly at him.
" Bailey, dont you know how to fix it?" Zane asked me as I was taken aback by the the sudden question.
" Technological advancements isn't my best subject. But I think I can help." I replied as I took the remote, walked to the back of the classroom and aimed at the chalkboard.
" Be prepared Mr Zane, this can either make it worse, probably kill you, fix the problem, or just make it unfix able." I told him as Kai's eyes grew wide.
" Don't do-!" He yelled but it was too late. I threw the remote with all my might as it shot the few feet away and hit the chalk board, it shattering into several pieces as it did so. Mr Zane sat down as the electricity.
" Bailey is the worst..." A kid mumbled in the back ground.
" I heard that! I called as I went back to my seat. Before I could sit down, the bell rang as recess was unleashed. I started packing up my things in my bag as the room was deserted, the only people in the room was Mr Cole, Mr Kai and Mr Zane.
" Ah recess, my favorite time." Mr Cole remarked as he sat down on the floor.
" Thank you Bailey." Zane told me as I dropped my gaze to the ground.
" Why thank me? Aren't you going to give me detention or something?" I asked him
" Why would I do that?" He asked me as I didn't meet his gaze.
" I was so careless... That stunt could have killed you." I explained slowly as Mr Zane walked up to me.
" But it didn't. At the second you threw the remote, you were determined. I saw it. You knew it wouldn't hurt me." Zane told me as he put a hand on my shoulder.
" I just dont want to hurt anyone. I know the feeling to be hurt." I told him slowly. Before he could ask when, I ran outside to recess, blinking away the tears of the awful memory.
" Bailey sure is a strange kid. I never heard of a kid that wanted to go to detention." Mr Cole commented as Mr Zane kept his gaze where I left.
" She sure is..." Mr Zane commented as he stared off into space.
Teacher's lounge POV:
Mr Jay opened the fridge slowly as he he smiled inside it. The smile quickly faded away when he realized what was missing.
" Ah... Alright! Who took my pudding cup?! My name was clearly written on it!" Mr Jay yelled as he turned around and looked at everyone in the teacher's lounge.
" Well, I didn't see motermouth on it." Mr Cole commented as he threw away the empty pudding cup that had Jay's name written on it.
" I'm telling the headmaster!" Mr Jay complained as he looked into the next room.
" Leave me out of this. Its my break too." Sensei Wu told them as he poured hot water into the tea cup.
" Relax Jay, you can have mine." Mr Kai told him as he tossed the pudding cup at him. Jay caught it with easy but looked at it sadly.
" But this isn't cold." Jay pouted as Mr Zane pressed a few buttons on his wrist. A frozen mist came out of his hand as it hit the pudding cup. When the mist disappeared, Jay devoured the pudding greedily.
" mmm gimme mmm." Jay remarked as he ate the pudding.
" Is anyone else chapped that Loyde gets to be the golden ninja and fly around excepting awards while we get to be stuck here as powerless teachers?" Jay once he ate half the pudding.
" I miss our elemental weapons." Jay remarked once no one answered.
" I have taken a liking to Bailey. She is very smart, she even knew about other elements that I did not." Zane told them as they gasped.
" There are other elements?" Kai asked.
" And you waited until now to tell us?" Jay added.
" There are 26 counting us." Zane informed as everyone looked baffled.
" Uh, excuse me but Sensie, what is he talking about?" Cole asked.
" He is right, there are exactly 26. But what I dont know is how Bailey is entitled to such information." Sensei Wu advised as everyone grew silent, trying to uncrack the code.
" I wonder who her ancestors were." Zane suddenly spoke as everyone looked at him.
" Why?" Cole asked.
" Because, then we would know if she was related to elemental masters, if she knows such information, maybe she is. But then again... she did say she got the information in a library." Zane suggested.
" Just to be sure, secretly keep an eye on her. See is she proves to be worthy." Sensei Wu ordered.
" Worthy for what?" Kai asked as Sensei looked at them seriously.
" To be an elemental master." He answered as everyone's eyes grew wide.
