Hallo everyone. Sorry for not posting for... a week. I accidently got interested in the Harry Potter series and am now reading it. Plus I still have writers block and feel uncomfortable about writing the next chapter. Oy.

Review replies(for both chapters 6 and 7):

Nurse Medusa: You and I both. ;) Romance is sorely underappreciated.

ninjagirl99204: I certainly will. ;)

The Mayor of Ninjago City: Heheh... yeah, I noticed. xD Except from herself, that is.

Starry-eyed Ninja: I don't think the next chapter will be... "fluffy"... but there will definitely be romance in it. And you might want to give Kloey some cookies before she hacks your computer again...

Angel Star Ninja: Heeeey, you came back! :D And yeah, I know you don't like romance... you kinda made that clear...

Breana: Good to hear. ;)

KRR: Okie dok. Why u let Kai out... ;_; Good thing I have duct tape powers! :D And sure, you can be in the mini stories.

Samantha: Are you accusing me of shipping Bansha and Morro? Certainly not, my good reviewer! *adopts fake british accent*

Leb: I'm rather surprised to hear that you do. I don't know any other boys who like romance. I have two brothers about my age, and they both scream and make loud gagging noises whenever they see any, so... yeah. xD I don't know what any of those Star Wars ship names are. :/ And my mom still hasn't gotten the last 4 movies out of the library, so I haven't gotten a chance to watch them. :c Morro was keeping an eye on Lloyd in case he was attacked. And as for those videos, I'll try to watch them when I get a chance. ;)

Petal: Okie dok. My three siblings closest to me in age all hate romance with a passion, so I can see how that might go. And he actually didn't know, he just wanted to keep an eye on Lloyd.

Windy: I know how much you love romance. ;) Since writer's block is still hitting me full force, I have not yet written the chapter I've been leading up to. This is mainly just filler. I love how supportive you are of me. Thank you! I love you! ;D

The Pink Ninja: Aww! Thank you! I love having new fans! ;D And I am looking forward to reading your fanfiction. ^ ^

Have a random filler chapter with Steven Universe references.


Chapter 7

"What'sss thisss?" Ni asked, holding up a lamp with a frown. "Is it a weapon?"

"No, it's not. Put that down." Lloyd took the lamp away from the Shadeling Queen. Setting it back down on a table.

"Fine. What about thisss?"" she picked up Sensei Wu's teapot, which was fortunately empty of tea. "Is thisss a weapon?"

"No! Nothing here is a weapon! Not in this room, anyway." The green ninja sighed, taking the teapot away and putting it back on its shelf. "Please stop grabbing things, okay?"

"Whatever you ssay." Ni shrugged and wandered off across the room. The Shadeling had arrived early that morning, and, after being introduced to the rest of the inhabitants of the monastery, started to wander around the monastery in search of something to do.

"If you want to see some weapons, we've got a bunch up in the training room." Lloyd suggested after a moment.

"Sssure." Ni followed him as he turned around and started towards the training area. "What are human weapons even like?" she muttered.

"Um... we've got swords, and nunchucks, and scythes... that sort of thing." the blond boy shrugged.

"What'sss a ssswordsss nunjuksss ssscydesss?"

"Nevermind. What are Shadeling weapons like?"

"Ssspearsss, clawsss, gauntletsss. Ussually we jussst fight with our bare handsss, though." Ni grinned, revealing her pointed teeth.

"Huh." Lloyd turned a last corner and the two found themselves in the training room, the walls of which were stocked with various weapons.. Ni wasted no time in flying over to examine them.

"Weaponsss made of... metal?" the Shadeling Queen frowned. "Why?"

"Metal is flexible when heated, so it's easy to shape, and it can be sharpened easily." Lloyd took a katana down from the wall to show her, and she ran her finger halfway along the blade before yelping in surprise and pulling her finger away.

"It'sss as sharp as the tip of a ssspear." she remarked, looking down at her finger. Lloyd noticed with surprise that the blood leaking out of her was bright pink.

"Why is your blood pink? He asked, lowering the sword to his side.

"I don't know. What color is yoursss?"

"Red."

"Really? Let me sssee!" Without warning, Ni raked a claw down Lloyd's arm and gave him a light scratch.

"Hey!" Lloyd jumped back, cradling his hurt arm against his chest. "That hurt!" Ni frowned.

"It did?"

"Yeah! A lot!" he complained, staring down at his bleeding arm. The winged shadeling was silent for a moment before laughing and launching herself at Lloyd.

"FEEL MY UNBRIDLED RAGE!"

"Ni!"

ReturnOfTheOverlord

"When are you going to bring him back?!" the Overlord demanded in Bansha's head. "It's been over twenty four hours since you left!"

"Sorry sir. We can't attack while they're awake, if we want to maintain secrecy, and Morro was awake all night last night with Lloyd." The female ghost replied silently. It was about noon, and Bansha was giving the Overlord a report on how their mission was going as Wrayth kept an eye on the Monastery.

"Their bond is insufferable." the Overlord muttered angrily. "But that's no excuse. Get him here tonight. I don't care what you have to do. Just get him back here. I want him transformed as soon as possible, and my contacts will have the Dark Matter here by tonight."

"Yes si-" she began, but was cut off by Wrayth.

"Bansha." She opened her eyes and frowned at him.

"Don't break my concentration. I'm trying to talk to the Overlord." she berated him before closing her eyes again and trying to renew the connection.

"But, look, something's happening." her partner grabbed her arm and jarred her out of her thoughts. Grudgingly, the female ghost looked up at the building in front of them. Someone was running back and forth on the highest level of the Monastery. More than one, it looked like. Suddenly, a figure in green was shoved out the window and onto the roof.. Unable to keep his balance, the figure toppled off the edge of the roof into open air. Quickly, Bansha scooped up her binoculars from the ground and peered through them at the falling figure. It was Lloyd. Suddenly, his fall slowed and he landed lightly on his back on a lower roof. A window on that level opened and Morro stepped out onto the shingles, helping Lloyd to his feet. The ghost then turned to the window Lloyd had fallen from, and Bansha heard faint, angry yelling. A moment later, some sort of black, creature landed on the roof beside the two.

"What... is that?" the female ghost muttered, zooming in on the... thing. It looked like a woman, with jet-black, shiny skin and ragged hair. And wings. Large, strong, bat wings.

"A Shadeling." Wrayth replied. "They apparently live in the forests of Ninjago. I've never seen one before, but this one looks like what I've heard about them."

"Why didn't you tell me about them?" Bansha frowned, taking in the woman's sharp-looking claws and fangs.

"I didn't know if they were even real." her partner shrugged. "But I know they're dangerous. And they live in huge tribes. Which means if the Ninja have made friends witht them, we could be in trouble."

"...maybe..." the ghost warrior muttered as she watched the "shadeling" shove Lloyd off the roof again. "We don't even know if it is friends with them/ It's pushing them off the roof."

"They're not fighting her, though. I think she's just being playful."

"Alright." the blade master nodded. "It's possible this one is some kind of outcast. If they're... wild animals, of a sort, why would they trust the ninja?"

"I don't know." Wrayth shook his head. "They seem to have a knack with animal-like races."

"Except when those races push them off roofs." Bansha smirked as Lloyd landed in a bush.

"Right." the chain master agreed. "She – the shadeling – seems to be pretty mischievous. Not sure whether she'll actually be a help to them or not."

"Well, she can fly." the ghost warrior shrugged. "That's more than most of us can do." Wrayth nodded and the conversation ended, leaving them both in silence for hours to come.


*takes deep breath* GO AWAY WRITER'S BLOCK

Remember back when I posted every day? I miss those days.

Dark Kai: And now we get to answer stupid questions made by stupid people who apparently have nothing better to do then talk to other people over the internet.
KRR: Shush.
Me: What she said. *cough* We actually don't have many! As I'm SURE you'll be happy to hear, Kai!
Dark Kai: I'm shocked. You were right about something.
Me: Shush. Okay, the first is from The Pink Ninja, for Lloyd. "
Do you like that people ship you and Kai on Greenflame?"
Lloyd: Absolutely not. It's disgusting. Ew.
Me: Glad to hear you agree. *innocently shoves haters out the window*
KRR: Meh.
Me: Shhh. The second question is ALSO from The Pink Ninja- wait, they all are. Anyway. Next is for Jay. "How's your arm doing? Hope you feel better buddy."
Jay: It's healing. Slowly. But thanks. :D
Me: The third is from - whoops, I already said - and for Zane. "Do you ever plan on rebuilding P.I.X.A.L.?"
Zane: Certainly. In fact, I recently contacted Cyrus Borg for his help creating a new android body for her.
Me: Fun. Fourthly, for Kai, "Why don't you just use you're elemental powers to escape? Just burn a hole through the wall!"
Lloyd: HEY!
Me: "(Don't hate me Lloyd!)"
Lloyd: Sheesh. How am I supposed to save the world when every keeps giving my enemies ideas for how to defeat me?
Dark Kai: I would do that... EXCEPT THAT VENGESTONE NEUTRALIZES OUR ELEMENTAL POWERS, YOU IDIOT.
Me: SHEESH, Kai. How was anyone supposed to know that they got Vengestone? I never mentioned it! Apologize!
Dark Kai: NEVER!
Me: RIGHT NOW.
Dark Kai: ...
Me: ...
Dark Kai: When did you get a magic wand?
Me: When I started reading the Harry Potter books.
Dark Kai: Fine. I'm SORRY.
Me: Thank yooou! ^ ^ The fifth is for-
Ni: LOOK AT THESE WEAPONSSS!
Lloyd: There are no questions for you! Go away!
Ni: I REFUSE!
Me: Ni, go away...
Ni: Whatever you sssay.
Lloyd: LET GO OF ME!
Morro: Should we help him?
Me: Nah. The fifth is for Cole. "How you doing? Being a ghost and all."
Cole: I'm doing fine. Luckily, being a ghost doesn't hinder my ability to eat cake. :9
Me: Stop using emoticons. Those are reserved for authors only.
KRR: :) ;D BD ^ ^
Me: ...I need to hurry this up. Last two questions are for Morro and Nya, and they are, "Why did you stay in Lloyd's room all night instead of a quick peek in? It's a little creepy." (for Morro) and "Can you do Airjitzu yet? I know you can in the show(as of Season 6-spoiler!)but how about here?" (for Nya).
Morro: I need to keep an eye on him, to make sure he's safe.
Me: He's currently being dangled off a roof by his foot by a crazy dragon lady.
Morro: She won't hurt him.
Nya: I CAN do Airjitzu, ye-
Jay: CYCLON-DO!
Nya: Shhh. Yes.
Me: And since this is, like, super way too long, let us draw this to a close.
Dark Kai: I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN.
Me: SEND HIM LOTS OF QUESTIONS!
