"Purple's" POV:
Waking up to a sudden shock from an unknown source, I was temporarily blinded by a bright, LED light aiming towards me. As I visualize my surroundings, I find myself sitting upon an older, rusty chair in the middle of a cell room, with my sore wrists and ankles tied up by a thick piece of rope. Suddenly, a voice spoke.
"Who are you, and what business do you have with Ronin?" They masked their identity behind the bright light, making it difficult for me to figure out the owner of the croaked voice. I looked down, smiling devilishly before responding.
"And what guts do you have to mess with us?" I looked up, my eyes mixed with a red and black furry, my face still plastered with the same smirk.
"Look, we aren't here to hurt you, all we want to know is what are you fighting for?" A robotic voice responded, in a concerned monotone.
"Why should I trust a old piece of metal, just like you?" I exclaimed, planning to not give up any information to the so-called saviors of Ninjago.
"That's it!" Allowing anger to get the best of him, the ninja in Red came emerged from the shadow behind the lamp to attack. Stopping him, was a door slamming open and an older voice yelling,
"What is going on here!" Everyone in the room, besides me, responded with the same "Sensei!"
"I told you not to proceed without me, wasn't I clear enough!" The cell room went dead silent, before leaving the silent behind with footsteps approaching the lamp to turn off the blinding light, as the regular room lights began to light. As my vision came to me, I recognize a familiar face in which I haven't seen in many years…
"Grand..father..?" I softly spoke, my eyes returning to the brown eyes that they used to be. I stared at him for what seemingly was a long time, as he also stared in disbelief.
"Lauren? Is it really you?" He hasn't moved an inch yet, since we've made eye-contact. I smiled at him, with warm tears flowing down my face.
"I've missed you.." After responding, he walks over to the chair that I had sat in, untying me from it.
"I apologize for all of this, if they had listened, none of this would've happened." He gave a cold glare to all of his pupils, giving them a sign to apologize. One by one, they all bowed in apology.
"Sensei..How is she your granddaughter..?" Kai questions, stepping closer.
"Our family has a lot of history..I can explain the story another day. As of now, Lauren is now all of yours teammate." Sensei announces, leaving everyone smiling. The other girl in the room, Nya I think, walks over.
"It's nice to have another girl on the team!" I smile back at her, and look at the others in front of me. Moments later, a familiar bright yellow light filled the room.
"Run!" A hand grabs my arm, dragging me out of the room of the blinding light. Once was pulled out of the room, I turned around to see my partner-in-crime, Paris.
"Come on, Lauren! We have no time to waste, that light doesn't last forever and they'll be finding out that your aren't in the room!" She yells out, with her mask covering half of her face, and the same old hoodie covering the rest. She was still holding onto my wrist, before I pulled it out of her grasp.
"Stop! They are our allies!" I take a few steps back, towards the entrance of the room that I was just in moment ago.
"They didn't brainwash you, did they!? I'll kill them with my own two hands if they did! Snap out of it, how are they your allies when they just kidnapped you?!" She jumps over to me, shaking me.
"They didn't! Trust me, my only family is in there!" Her eyes soften, "Are you sure that they are trustworthy..?"
I nod, "Yes." The ninja ran out of the room, finding themselves to greet Paris and I. Sensei jumps in front of me, using his staff to protect me and blocking Paris from me.
"You won't touch her!" The ninja also stand guard, surrounding me, leaving me in shock for a few moments. She takes a few steps back, before standing her fight stance.
"Everyone stop! She's my friend!" I move in between the ninja and Paris, stopping the battle. "She's was only here to save me!" Sensei hesitated, before setting his staff down.
"If she is your friend.. Very well." The ninja follow his footsteps, a few of them sending confused looks at one another. I look at Paris, who is probably the most puzzled one out of us all.
"Give us a minute," I say before pushing Paris into a nearby room. Paris pulls down her hoodie and mask, "How can you trust them when you don't even know all of them! What about our mission, or are we going to give up on that, too!" She was furious, for a long time, she's had problems trusting people because of some sort of incident she'll never tell me about.
"Calm down, Paris. You may not trust them, but I do. Their Sensei is the only family I have left in my life, everyone else is gone! If I join them, I know that I can protect him! I'm not forgetting about what we still have to do, If you join us, you can find out what you want to know faster than any other route! So are you in, or out!" I stand in front of her, giving her a serious look.
She looks down, as if she's overlooking here answers, before looking up at me. "Fine, I'll do it because you want me to, but don't expect me to get along with everyone so easily.." She glares at me, as I smile.
'I know you'll soften up, eventually.' I thought to myself, before we both walked out of the room we discussed in.
"We'll join your team," I plant a smile on my face, as I look over to Paris, who forces out a smile. The ninja celebrate, walking up to us and surrounding Paris and I.
"Welcome to our team!" Cole mentions, as he gives me a warm smile.
