Guess what Jan 15 was . . . . Guess, Go on, guess.
It's my birthday.
I have now turned one year older. I'm one year closer to becoming old . . . . . . Like 30
Oh, the horror, The horror, the horror
To celebrate I'm posting another chapter. DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO BECOME A REGULER THING. I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UPDATE AS FAST UNTILL AT LEAST THE SUMMER TIME.
Not saying that I won't try to update again, I will but don't count on it, actually happening.
SweetHeart114: Here I am. And I hope this chapter answers some of your questions. Thank you for your support.
FirstFandomFangirl: I love all forms of greenflame. But I love this kind better. What's the word for Col and Kai together. I love them, too.
Ninjagymnastgirl: I love every story Kai related. He's the kind of character, who you could pair him/her up with anyone and it's still good.
We flew for a long time before i woke up. I could tell by the ache in my back and by the fact that sun was setting when i opened my eye's again.
On the plus side, I fell way more refreshed.
I shifted my weight and nearly fell off the dragon. "Your awake" I realized that my arms were still around his waist and I quickly pulled them back towards me.
"(Yawn) Yep. How long was i asleep" I asked to get over my embarrassment.
"Long enough for me to get to my fathers monastery " I looked at the ground. It swirled dangerously underneath me an I put my head between Lloyd's shoulder blades again. "Ugh, that's a long way down" The monastery was just below us.
Lloyd laughed and angled his dragon, going in for a landing "didn't know you were afraid of height's "
"I'm not. I'm afraid of falling"
We landed in a large clearing and Lloyd made his dragon disappear.
"So which way is the mon-"
"Lloyd" A reassuring feminine voice asked. I turned around. Lloyd's mom was standing there.
"Mum" He ran to her and hugged her.
"What are you and Kai doing here" She glared at me. She doesn't like me for multiple reasons. I was never a fan of her husband and i thinks she's peeved that Lloyd trust's me more than her but she deserves it. I never left him when he needed me.
"The overlord's back and he has new Ninjago city"
"What about the other Ninja's and Wu"
"We don't know about Wu or my sister but The overlord has the other Ninja's" i said sadly and she put her hand on my shoulder. She knows that through all my flaws, I love my brothers.
"There tough. There going to come through this all right"
"I hope so. " I turned to her. What i said next tasted horrible, It was really hard to say "We need Lord Garmadon's help to save my brothers and Sensei"
"He no longer goes by lord. Here he his Sensei Garmadon "
I raised an eyebrow at that but didn't say anything.
"We need to speak with dad as soon as possible. We need to find a way to stop the overlord"
"Come in, but your weapons are not allowed. Ever since Lloyd saved his father, Garmadon's sworn an oath to never fight in hope to make up for his evil past"
"Aw." I sighed. Of all the times for him to go non-violent, it had to be now.
She turned and looked at me "It's an oath he takes very seriously. "
"Well these aren't leaving my side"
"Then I'm afraid you can't come in"
Now i glared at her "Pixal risked a lot to bring these to us. I have a feeling that they are important. I'm not leaving them"
"Neither an i " Lloyd said loyally. I smiled at him and i saw a faint blush appear on his cheeks.
Misako didn't miss that either. "Okay, you may come in but you may not use your weapon"
"You make it sound like I'm going to chop someone's head off with them."
"Will you" she challenged
I smiled back, looking her right in the eye. " Only if you give me a reason too"
She laughed "Maybe in a few years, you might actually be a challenge"
"I'm more than a match for you" i hissed, hand going to where my sword usually sits. This was getting bad fast.
Lloyd stepped in front of us and had to, literally force us apart. "This isn't helping guys"
"Then tell your mother to back off." I said emphasizing "Your" very, very forcefully.
She glared at me but turned around and started guiding us too the monastery. I felt a rush of victory. I had won, she backed down.
But it was drained from my system when Lloyd spoke to me "I know you think you won some kind of stupid macho contest right now but let me tell you, my mom was the bigger person right then" He moved to follow his mom
I glared at his retreating form. Being a Ninja mean that sometime you want to hug your friend and strangle him all at the same time. I'm glad that he's here but I also am kind of mad at him now.
The world is stupid.
We arrived at the monastery in only a few more minutes.
It was filled with kids.
Really parents. Were you around when brains were being passed out.
The "Sensei" ( Hard air quotes around that word) here, used to be the lord of all evil . .Do they want an evil overlord as a kid . . What self-respecting parent would sent there kids to train under Garmadon. Does anyone in Ninjago have a common sense.
Apparently not.
All the boys bum-rush Lloyd and all the girls straight up tackled me.
They start going on and on about how I'm there idol and about how it was me who convinced them to try and become Ninja's too.
I felt both pleased and guilty. Pleased that I had affected there lives in such a positive way but guilty that because of me they are now studying under and "Ex-" (Again, hard air quotes on that word) Evil lord.
Does that make me responsible if they do turn evil. Probably.
"I've been wanting to meet you for sooooo long " One of them wailed, holding onto my arms tightly.
"Thanks" I mumbled trying to be polite.
"Okay kids, why don't you go play while we talk" Misako said, coming to my rescue.
"Aw, do we have too" They whined at a pitch that is normal reserved for dogs. I flinched slight but they didn't notice.
"Yes, now go"
"Thanks for that" I said, grudgingly
She nodded "My husband is out for right now but you are welcome to wait."
"Thanks, do you have somewhere, I could . . ." I gestured to my debris filled hair, my ripped clothes and my dirt covered face.
"Yes, we have somewhere you can freshen up" She leads me into the Monastery and then into an amazing bathroom. It was nice. It even had showers.
"I'll find someone near you size so you can borrow some of there clothes " She left. I undress and step under the shower of water. As I stood under the spray, I was so tired that I was swaying. I was still exhausted, eve with that short nap I had on the dragons back.
I need something to focus on, so I replayed todays events in my mind and I tried to figure out where I went wrong.
But I couldn't
I don't regret anything I did, except, maybe, leaving my brothers sides and I definitely don't think that things could have played out any differently but still. . . .
I wish I could have do something to help.
I just felt so useless.
I'm so tired that I think I'm mumbling to myself. 'I need to get out before I fall asleep.' I thought
I turned off the water and stood there, listening to the drops as they fall onto the shower floor. I grabbed a towel and dried myself before stepping out.
A package was still on the counter, next to the sink. I opened the package and immediately decided to wear my dirty ripped Ninja gear again.
I should have know that Misako would get back at me for "mouthing" off to her.
This shirt had the entire cast of sesame street on it.
How was I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of evil doers, with Elmo and big bird waving at them from my shirt. I was going to kill her the next time I see her.
I think I'd rather go naked. That would definitely scare people.
I pick up my old clothes and I put on only the under clothes. My white T-shirt and my tights that are under my clothes.
Our Ninja suits are specifically designed to be more resistant to each Ninja's element. Me- fire, Jay- Lightning, and so on and so forth.
But . . . my under clothes were not.
I didn't really think it mattered anymore, I don't have my elemental powers so there won't be much of a risk, right.
I finish getting clean, by taping down my chest like always with white clothes.
I was ready.
I gather up the rest of my clothes and headed out. I moved sluggishly, exhaustion setting in again.
Misako was standing right out side the bathroom, with a smirk on her face. It faded when she saw what I was wearing.
"Well that was refreshing" I flashed a smile at her and walked away before she could say anything.
If she had really wanted to embarrass me, she should have taken my old clothes.
This isn't brain science or Rocket surgery. ( Brain surgery/ Rocket science) This is common sense.
I laughed at her antics. She should try harder.
I walked outside and Then all of a sudden, I hear "KAAAAAAAAAI", Then all I see is a blur of red and tan and I realize that I am now laying, spread eagle on the floor of Garmadon's monastery, for reasons unknown and I'm, also, hugging a warm unknown party.
I froze. I know it's not very Ninja like but it was all I could do. Then the person shifted again, so that I could see her face.
Nya.
Now I hugged her for real.
"Nya, How . . . I was so worried . . . What happened after I . . . Where are our kids"
She laughed "One question at a time, please."
"Kai. It is good to see you well" I looked away from Nya and saw Sensei walking towards me.
"Sensei" I stood and nearly bowled him over with my hug. "I'm so happy your okay"
"Like wise, my young student but where are your brother" I could feel my head moving around, looking for the other, over my shoulder.
"They've been captured by the Overlord " I said while pulling away.
His eyes widened but he nodded "It seems that we both have story's to tell but might I suggest we get inside before the rain begins, I don't like it when my beard frizzes "
"Of course, Sensei"
I need 4 reviews before I update again. I love you all
