A.N: Hello everyone. What did I miss-? Whoa. My story is that liked already? Well if you guys like it so much then I should give you the next chapter huh? Okay, you guys asked for more and it is here! Let's see what will happen to the ninja when they get back to the boarding school.
The guys hopped back on their energy dragons and flew back to the boarding school faster than the speed of light. They were so afraid of the lectures they were going to get when they got back.
"Oh man, I'm going to be in so much trouble!" Dylan said, "I was the one who asked to tag along!"
"Don't sweat it little dude, we'll cover for 'ya." Lloyd assured him,
"Dylan shot the ninja a smile. "Thanks, Lloyd." He said, "How do you think she'll take it?" Jay asked the twelve-year-old,
"Knowing my mom, not that good." Dylan said,
"Whoa Dylan, your mom has been pretty strict lately." Kai pointed out,
Dylan sighed. "It's the move…" He said, "For the past few weeks she's been nothing but a grump!"
"I thought you two moved out a week ago." Jay said,
"Yeah, but she helped Miss Suzuki move in the week before. She never let's me go anywhere anymore! and now she's going to probably get on my back about the unpacked boxes that are still in my room!"
Before they knew it they got back to the boarding school and ran up the many flights of stairs. When they reached the Staff Quarters, they hesitated before entering.
"Oh, I don't understand, where could've they gone?!" Eve said worriedly, "What if something's happened?!"
"Eve I know the guys, they can hold their own." Skylor said, Eve was pacing back and forth while Skylor and P.I.X.A.L were sitting at the table.
"Yeah but what about my little Dillie?! He can't handle being by himself out there!" Eve said,
"He wasn't alone." A voice said, Eve whirled around and the girls looked past her and saw the guys were now with them in the room.
"Dille!" Eve yelled, she ran over to the young boy and hugged her son tightly.
"Mom, I can't breathe!" Dylan said struggling, Eve let go but still kept her hands on his shoulders.
"Oh, I was so worried about you. Don't you ever sneak out again!" She said sternly,
"Eve he was fine, he was with us." Lloyd said, Eve looked up from her son and glared at the Golden Ninja.
"You…" She marched up to him and grabbed the front of his ninja suit.
"What have I told you?! Don't take Dylan anywhere without letting me know first! He could've been hurt!"
"Relax, we were just flying dragons." Lloyd told her,
"You were WHAT?!" Eve said furious, she was now in full anger mode; her eyes fiery with anger and her nostrils were flaring.
Dylan then stepped in the way.
"Mom, I'm fine. Now can we just drop this situation?" He asked, Eve sighed, she rubbed the bridge of her nose in annoyance with herself for making a scene.
"I'm sorry guys, it's just the move has gotten me all stressed out." Eve apologized,
"It's okay." Kai said, "You're just tense. Today's the block party, you don't need to stress out."
"Yeah, you're right." Eve said, Eve then turned to the girls sitting at the table.
"So girls, what are we bringing to the party?" Eve asked, Skylor and P.I.X.A.L stood up and walked over to the kitchen counter. Skylor picked up a box that had frost on it and P.I.X.A.L pulled out a pie.
"I bought a cheesecake." Skylor said, "I made a pie." P.I.X.A.L replied smiling,
"She'll probably end up throwing it away." Jay whispered to Cole, Cole laughed a little.
Eve shot the master of lightning a glare. "Jay!" She whispered in an offended tone,
"But it's true! Remember the slop that she made us eat in the Cursed Realm?! I didn't feel right for a week!"
"Shut up." Eve whispered angrily through gritted teeth, "Sorry." Jay said finally shutting up,
Nya then came into the room from down the hall. She was wearing clothes that were different from the ones she normally wore. She was wearing a purple blouse and white jeans.
"Where have you been?!" She yelled, "Flying dragons." Eve said still not happy with them either,
"Again?!" Nya said annoyed with the answer that she got from Eve,
"Yeah, sorry sis. We wanted some fresh air." Kai explained, "You promised you were going to help us get things ready for the block party! Remember, it's in our honor." She was right, the whole block part was to celebrate them saving Ninjago yet again from Luke and the Preeminent. Come to think of it, Ninjago City had been throwing a lot of block parties throughout the past year.
"Oh yeah that's right." Kai said, "It's to thank us for saving Ninjago from Luke and the Preeminent. Although it was really Eve who saved the day." Eve blushed at that comment. She was really flattered to be the hero. She was only ever good at her main hobbies and she had never saved the day before.
Downtown Ninjago City was already done with setting up the party. The stages where the bands were going to play their music were already set up. People were already starting to arrive as well. Some were wearing skimpy outfits and had their faces painted like they were part of some ancient tribe. After an hour, he bands had arrived and gotten the music started. The gang went to Eve and Dylan's apartment building and picked up Eliza and Brody and then drove down a few blocks to get to the party which had already started.
A grungy rock band was in the stage. Their hair was obviously dyed black and were wearing black and white face paint. A.N: They're supposed to be a parody of KISS even though I was never a fan.
"Hello Ninjago City! Are you all ready to rock?!" The lead singer of the band yelled into the microphone, everyone cheered around the gang while they just looked at everyone confused.
"Yeah, hit it!" The leader yelled, then the drummer began to drum a good beat and then the guitars began wailing and the basses began thumping and the keyboard player was playing synthesized chords. The ninja were still a little confused for a minute until they saw Dylan and Brody rocking out to the music in front of them. Then the ninja started dancing while the girls just stood and watched for they wanted to retain their dignity.
"I don't know if this music is a good idea." Skylor said to Eve and Nya over the loud music, the two girls looked at her.
"This music will wake up Serafina. These last two months have been Gemara with her, it's been hard to get her to fall asleep." Skylor bounced the sleeping baby in her arms lightly shushing her while the music continued to play on loudly.
Jay then grabbed Nya's hand so they could dance together. She looked at Skylor.
"Skylor, you need to loosen up." She said, Jay then dragged her towards him harder and the two began to dance together.
Eve looked at Skylor and shrugged.
"She's got a point, it's a party." Then she ran over and started dancing with Lloyd.
Skylor looked at everyone dancing around her and sighed. Normally she would dance like crazy too but she was a mother now which meant she had to be responsible. She turned and began to walk away when she froze up and her eyes widened. For she saw before her the fearsome serpentine led by Scales. Eve walked up to Skylor not even noticing the snakes.
"What's wrong, Skylor?" Eve said, she looked at what Skylor was staring at. When she saw the treacherous snakes, Eve let out a scream.
"Snakes!" She yelled, the guys immediately ran over ready to attack whatever was trying to hurt them.
"What? What?" Lloyd asked alarmed by Eve's screams,
Eve gestured towards Scales and the other snakes. "Snakes!" Eve yelled, as it turned out, while everyone else knew of the serpentine coming to the party, the ninja kind of missed the memo.
"Hello." Scales said waving friendly, "Scales! We should've known!" Jay said angrily, Eve immediately grasped hold of her Realm Necklace.
"You'd better back off before I send you somewhere you will be forever tortured by powers even greater than you can imagine!" She said in a threatening tone,
Scales and the other snakes threw their arms up and Scales said, "Whoa young lady relax-x-x-x-x-x. We're just here for the party." Scales explained, the ninja lowered their defenses and looked at the snakes confused.
"Really? No one told us you were coming." Kai said, "We were invited and we gladly ac-c-c-c-cepted the invitation." Scales replied,
Eve then let go of her necklace. Meanwhile Dylan and Brody were clinging to their mothers scared. "My apologies dear snakes. I completely forgot that both races have been joined and are one now." She said, Scales' wife then gave Eve a nod.
"No need to ex-x-xplain. We unders-s-stand perfectly. We too are still getting us-s-sed to the whole ordeal." She said assuringly, Eve nodded back.
That's when Dylan noticed that there was a blue and white snake about his age clinching to Scale's wife. He curiously let of his mother and approached the young snake while the parents continued to talk.
"So this is the girl who defeated the Preeminent." Scales said, he shook Eve's hand and said, "Me and my people owe you a debt of gratitude." Eve pulled her hand away and blushed at the compliment. " oh it was nothing really." She said, Dylan was now very close to the child snake. The child snake gasped and hid behind his mother and Dylan smiled and waved.
"Hi." Dylan said, "H-hi." The child snake replied shyly, "I'm Dylan, what's your name?" Dylan asked curiously, "S-Scales Jr." Scales Jr. stuttered, "B-But, you can call me Junior."
"Hi Junior." Dylan smiled, "Do you wanna meet a friend of mine?" Dylan asked, feeling less shy now, Junior nodded his head and gestured Brody over.
Brody walked up grinning at the snake child. He held his hand out for Junior to shake it.
"What's up? I'm Brody." Brody said happily, Junior shook Brody's hand and said, "Scales Junior. But you can call me Junior."
"Junior huh? Cool name. I always wanted that name." Brody said, just then, a small purple snake who looked almost identical to Scale's wife came out from behind Scales' wife as well.
"Junior, can I hang out with your friends too?" She asked in a shy high pitched voice,
"Ugh! Scalene I told you not to talk to me when I'm with friends!" Junior snapped,
"Sorry, I just think they look nice." She said shyly twittling her thumbs,
"Who's this?" Dylan asked, Junior sighed. "This is my sister..." He said bored and annoyed with the little girl snake,
"Oh, I'm Dylan. What's your name?" Dylan asked,
"Scalene." Scalene said, "Heh, kind of like the triangle." Brody said chuckling, Dylan elbowed Brody in the chest. "Ow." Brody groaned rubbing his chest, Do you wanna hang out with us too?" Dylan asked
"Nope, nope, she doesn't." Junior said stepping in front of her,
"Junior, let your sister hang with you." Scales' wife said sternly, Junior rolled his red ringed eyes and sighed.
"Yes mother." He said annoyed,
"Thanks Dylan." Scalene said smiling, "No problem." Dylan told her, after that the party just continued to go on. People were still into the music and were actually very comfortable around the snakes.
After the band played their fifth and final song, Borg wheeled up onstage and began to tap the mic.
"Hello? Hello? Testing testing 1 2 3." He said speaking into the mic still tapping it, then out of nowhere a loud ringing sound came from the amps making everyone cringe and cover up their ears. When the noise died down, everyone uncovered their ears and Borg began to speak.
"Ninjago City! Today we once again celebrate the ninja saving Ninjago from the drastic Preeminent and the dastardly Luke making Ninjago a safer place once more!" Everyone went crazy at the mention of the ninja.
Borg wheeled to the side. "Get up here ninja!" He said, the entire gang went up the steps on the side of the stage. They faced the crowd and Kai took the mic.
"Thank you, but he one you should really be cheering for the person who really defeated the Preeminent..." Kai stepped to the side and Eve stepped up. She looked at Kai who just gave her a nod and handed her the mic. Eve took the mic nervously and looked at the crowd. They were staring at her in silence. She shivered and brought the mic up to her lips. She hesitated for a minute and then spoke into the mic.
"I am grateful to be of service to our country and I can promise you..that Ninjago will remain safe for quite a while."
Everyone began to applaud and cheer for her and then the other ninja stepped up beside her and Jay took the mic from Eve's hand.
"Give it up everyone! The Aether Ninja!" He yelled in his usual high-spirited tone, everyone was now going crazy for Eve and her portal powers. That's when Eve wondered about her powers. If she was a descendant then which parent did she get her Aether powers from. She decided to ask Sensei about it but now was not the right time. It was a party, it was supposed to be fun.
Dylan was dancing around with Brody and Scales Jr. He looked towards the area where snacks were laid out and noticed that Scalene was having trouble reaching the red plastic cups because they were placed too far back and she couldn't reach. Feeling sympathy for the little snake girl, he went over and grabbed a plastic cup from the oil and handed it to her.
"Here you go." Dylan smiled warmly, Scalene took the cup with a shaking hand. She had never seen humans up close before.
"Th-Th-Thank you..um..." She said trailing off, "I'm sorry, I forgot your name." She said,
Dylan laughed a little. "Don't worry, it's Dylan." He told her,
"Oh, right. Thanks Dylan." Scalene smiled shyly, "Anytime." Dylan winked, then he walked back over to Brody and Scales Jr. Scalene just smiled because the first humans she met, were her new friends.
As Eve tucked Dylan into bed and kissed his head goodnight her mind was buzzing with questions. Which parent did she inherit her powers from? Her mother or her father? How long did she have these powers? And why did they unlock now? So many questions, so little answers. She decided to not clutter her mind right now. She walked into the living room and unpacked three more boxes from the move. When she checked the clock she saw that the time was 12:30. She knew she had to stop unpacking and go to sleep.
Eve went to her room without even bothering to change out of her clothes. She was beat! She knew however that she would have to drop Dylan off at Eliza's tomorrow because she didn't want Dylan to be bored at the boarding school. Plus he could hang out with Brody and Eliza said she worked it out with Scales Jr.'s mother and they have a play date settled.
Too tired to even think anymore, Eve pulled her covers over her body so close to falling asleep.
