Dang, nice ship.
… And there's powers?
Since when were there other people like us?
Neither of our Sensei's ever mentioned others!
"Sensei Garmadon," I asked, "How are there people like us?"
Garmadon looked at me, and sighed.
"There is much I haven't told you. We were waiting for the right time. Your parents – all of your parents – were descendants of elemental masters. Haven't you ever wondered where you got your power?"
Emily started to look angry. "IF YOU WERE HIDING SECRETS FROM US EVER SINCE WE JOINED, THEN WHY DON'T YOU SPILL NOW?!" She paused for a moment, and changed her mind. "FORGET IT, I'M LEAVING!"
And she walked further down the ship, without looking back.
"Y'know, Garmadon, Emily has a point. Why were you hiding this from all of us?"
I could tell that Garmadon was desperately trying to not yell at Megan. "We wanted you to feel special."
"Well," I said, "We did. But now, I'm curious. I want to know who were up against."
Garmadon smiled at me, understanding every word. "Yes, let's.
"Now, that person is Griffin Turner. Master of Speed. He can dodge nearly every attack you throw."
"Speed?" Jay asked. "But Speed isn't an element?"
"So asks the master of Lightning."
After Garmadon showed us some people, we were at the end of the boat. The only other two people were a male wearing black and silver gloves, and someone in a pale hood.
Kai smiled and walked over to the hooded figure.
Things weren't going to end well …
The man with the gloves turned to Kai and started on him.
No … no … not Kai.
He punched Kai straight across the face.
"No!" I yelled while advancing on him. "Not my boyfriend, you bitch!"
I grabbed him by the throat, and summoned a dark magic ball in my free hand. I was just about to land it in his face, when …
"Particularly impressive," I heard a male voice say behind me. I instantly released my grip, and turned to face the man.
It was the man Garmadon knew as Clouse.
"Perhaps if I taught you what I know, we could take that ability further."
I hesitated. Garmadon didn't trust Clouse for a reason. Then again, he offered to help me. How many people have done that? Close to none. I decided that it wouldn't be too bad if I agreed. After all, I don't have anything to lose.
"I-"
"She won't go," Garmadon cut me off. "I know when you're luring people in, Clouse." He said his name with distaste.
Clouse had a smirk on his face. "Oh, that's too bad. You aren't the person I remember, Garmadon." He started walking away. "She has so much potential."
Oh well that's just great. Now I'm not even allowed to learn. What the hell is Garmadon hiding from us?
As soon as everyone's backs were turned, I hurried to Clouse's room. Approval or not, I'm taking private lessons.
I found his door and knocked. "Enter," his voice said from inside.
I opened the door so only my head showed. "Hi, is it okay if I accept those lessons you offered earlier?"
Clouse's smile returned. "Of course."
OH MY GOD I'M DONE!
My HACE class didn't start yet, and technically he said, "before next HACE class." SO I DID IT IN TIME! HELL YEAH!
In two and a half minutes the next chapter will be up. Doc Manager decided to delete half this chapter and I was having intense writer's block. I'm just damn lucky the library has computers.
