Anyone know the difference between views and visitors? I would like to know. This is probably my least fav chappie because I had to explain some stuff you already know.

***...words...*** means this is practically from the episode and own little of what is there. All credit there goes to Ninjago.

I don't own Lego or Ninjago


Ch 7: Someone help me pick a name!

Cole's POV

When I reached the top of the stairs, we saw Jay. He probably saw me all sweaty from the pepper Tara accidentally made me eat and her still dripping all over the place.

Jay looked at Tara's foot, "Ahh...-"

"You don't want to know," Tara told him, "But for the next couple of days you can probably call me Grapefruit Lady." Jay handed me my shirt and the matter dropped.


A light layer of frost covered the ground when we trekked to where Kai was waiting for us. The deeper we progressed into the woods, the more snow lay on the ground. I heard a high pitch sneeze and something shivering on my back. I looked over to find Tara's hair completely frozen, her hands turning blue, and her eyelids almost frozen shut. I feel stupid now. Who brings a drenched person into a frozen wasteland?

"Guy's, I think Tara is suffering from a mild case of hypothermia," I informed them.

"Do we send her back?" Jay asked, "It looks like she'll be more of a burden than a help right now. No offense, Tara."

"No..." she said sleepily, "I want to see Zane. We move forward. Together. Can't Kai just make a bonfire or something?"

"With these winds, I don't even think I could make a fire," he responded as we continued. By the time we reached a giant metal door in a tree, Tara's shivering had grown more violent. I figured that the tree had heating, so in a panic I chucked Tara inside instead of taking her down the stairs that I had no clue that were there at that moment. I rushed down the stairs to find Tara sitting on top of a squished Zane. Surprisingly, Tara wasn't mad, which was out of character. She just looked at me with glazed over, expressionless eyes. Zane got out from under Tara and looked at us with expressionless eyes too, except he wasn't suffering from hypothermia.

***"What's wrong Zane?" Kai asked. Zane's hand reached over and... opened his stomach. A series of lights, cables, and switches were revealed underneath.

"You're a robot?" I questioned.

"All this time," he responded, "and I never knew. The reason why I couldn't comprehend your jokes was my funny switch was turned off."

"This just makes you... special," Kai suggested.

I added, "It will probably even make you a better ninja!"

"And now I can honestly say, 'my brother is a nindroid'," Jay said unhelpfully. That's when Zane kicked us out and asked to be alone for no, I did not chuck Tara back up the tree.***

Outside I actually got a small smile from Tara.

"It sounds like tree horns are off in the distance," she smiled happily.

Jay looked at her, "Tree horns? Seriously? Now you're just making stuff up."

"No, I saw it on a sign back there. 'Beware of tree horns'," Kai defended when a tree horn kicked him right in the gut.

"You really need to get your hearing checked," I told Tara. I laid her down against a tree, away from any tree horns and unsheathed my scythe.

"Tree horns," she mumbled like an encyclopedia, "territorial but gentle creatures. They love being talked to. The only way to scare them of is by fr-" Tara stopped midsentence and fell unconscious, again.

"Scare them by what? Oh come on!" Jay screamed hysterically. All of the tree horns closed in around Tara.

"What do they want from her?" Kai asked as he beat upon one of the tree horn's legs, to little avail.

I shrugged, "They probably want someone to talk to. Not every person is willing to go up and talk to a tree." This was problematic. I couldn't hurt the tree horns, yet we needed to save Tara. Zane emerged from the shelter and started running to where we were. Simultaneously, a larger, more powerful tree horn emerged from the forest. The queen.

***"You will not hurt my friends!" he yelled at the queen, "There is nothing that can hold me back. I know who I am!"*** A flash of light surrounded Zane and he was lifted upwards. A beam then shot out and froze the queen. The rest of the tree horns ran off.

"Zane unlocked his full potential!" I announced.

Jay looked over at Tara, "Oh... freeze the queen. Scare them off by freezing the queen. I get it now. Ironic though considering the environment they live in."


Back at Destiny's Bounty

Tara was now wrapped in fifteen blankets and lay asleep like an immoveable log while she defrosted by the fireplace. Exhausted, Jay, Zane, Kai, and I laid down on the floor too.

"She sure is giving us a run for our money, saving our butts, falling unconscious, twisting her ankle, and this is only day one of her training," Kai said. I heard a groan from Jay as he thought of all the work this was going to take.

"Is she really even making us a better team," Jay asked.

"Well, we haven't argued all day with each other, not even over the green ninja," Zane suggested.

"Don't forget that Kai was a lot of work too," I put in.

Kai's eyes narrowed, "Hey!" I started to hear some mumbling coming from the immoveable log, ahem... I mean Grapefruit Lady.

"Looks like Jay is not the only one who talks in his sleep," I told everyone. I leaned over to catch some of what Tara was saying.

"Don't leave... you guys may not need me... but I need you," she muttered as I chuckled. Looks like the only time Tara expresses how she feels is when she sleeps.

I looked at her and said, "Don't worry, we'll always need you."


I'm pretty sure at the end Cole means I will always need you, but who knows ;) I'll let you in on a secret... another new character is going to make an appearance. How? You'll have to wait and see.
