~Chapter 6~
"Cole..." muttered Morro. "Yeah?" Cole sat up and looked at the clock. It was 5:00 a.m. "Morro, are you ok?" Cole asked. Morro nodded. "What's wrong?" Cole asked. Morro was trembling. "I dunno." He whispered. Cole got up. "Um.. ok. I'll be right back, then." Cole left Morro alone.
"Morro, good child. You shall not tell him of my presence..." whispered and eerie voice. "What do you want?" Morro Asked. "You know quite well what i want." The voice replied. "You want me, dont you?" Morro Asked. "indeed, child. I want you for my army... my army of creatures." The voice stated. "Creatures? I'm no creature. I'm a living, breathing human." "True, but you used to be a monster... I'm the form of a ghost. My army consists of ghosts, vampires, serpentine, and now... you." "Me? No... I'm staying here. I'm—"
"Morro, who are you talking to?" Cole asked. Morro jumped up in fear. "No one." He replied. "Mhmm... sure." Cole walked towards Morro. "Cole, you don't believe me?" Morro Asked. "Uh... well, no." Cole replied. Morro sighed. "Sorry, I was just talking to myself." Morro muttered. "Whatever you say." Cole handed him a cup of tea and left.
"Child... join me... join-" "NO!" Morro slammed his cup on the floor, causing it to shatter. "Oh no..." he began to scoop up the glass shards, but one cut his hand deep. He cringed as he looked at the palm of his hand. It reminded him of when he was eight years old and he cut his hand on a picture frame glass. That was right before he met Wu.
"Morro, are you ok?!" Asked Cole. He ran into the room and Kai and Lloyd stood in the doorway. "Mhmm..." Morro Replied, standing and pulling the glass shard out of his hand like it was nothing. "Morro... what happened?" Asked Kai, now coming into the room. "Kai, go away." Cole stated sternly. "I just wanted to know what happened!" Kai whined. "Kai, leave." Lloyd pointed to the door. "Fine." Kai rolled his eyes and left.
"Morro, let me see your hand." Lloyd stated, walking into the room. Morro places his hand into the palm of Lloyd's. "Hmm... you were cut pretty bad. Come out into the kitchen, and I'll help you." Morro, Cole, and Lloyd went out to the kitchen.
"Morro, please tell us what happened!" Cole begged. "Literally all it was was me cutting myself on glass." Morro said. "Who were you saying no to?" Cole asked. "Myself." Replied Morro. He wasn't exactly lying. The voice was inside his head.
"Morro, there's more to it than that." Lloyd stated calmly, while cleaning off Morros hand. "What position are you in to say that?" Morro Asked. "Morro, you possessed me for two weeks. I think I'd know when you're lying." Lloyd replied. Morro sighed. "Fine. There is a... say, voice... inside my mind. It's been whispering to me when I'm alone, telling me to join it's army... It wants me." Morro explained. "How long has this been going on?" asked Cole. "For a few days." replied Morro.
"Morro, you aren't alone anymore! You dont have to hide anything from us." Cole explained. "I'm aware..." Morro whispered. "Try to sleep. I'll stay with you while Cole trains." Lloyd said. Morro left. Lloyd was about to follow, but Cole grabbed his wrist. Lloyd faced Cole, to see him glaring at him as if to say Don't try anything.
Cole went outside to train. "What's up with Morro?" he muttered to himself. He picked up his scythe and began training. He eventually realized how hard it was to train by himself. "JAAAYYYY!?" Right away, Jay was out on the deck in his gi. "What is it? Danger? Skeletons? Snakes? Lloyd? Nya? Garmadon turning evil cause he tasted your cooking and wanted to plot revenge on you?" Jay asked. "No... i need you to train with me." Cole replied. "Oh." Jay looked slightly disappointed that the last guess wan't true, but went to train with Cole anyway.
Later that day, Morro and Cole decided to go to Ninjago city, just for the good of it. "Cole... what's today?" Morro asked. "October 29th... why?" Cole looked at Morro. "It's... Day of the Departed. Our first day of the departed together, and we at last are no longer departed." Morro smiled. "Dude, what?!" Cole smiled. "Yep. Wanna get cake just for the good of it?" Morro smirked. "That isn't a question." the duo headed to the bakery.
"Hey, Cole!" said a voice. Cole looked over at the counter. "Sakura! Hey!" Cole greeted. "Sakura?" Morro asked. "Oh, Morro this is my ex-girlfriend Sakura. Sakura, this is Morro." Cole said, introducing them. "Oh, hey Morro. Aren't you that guy-" "Who possessed Lloyd, the green ninja, trying to become the green ninja myself and used the sword of sanctuary and the realm crystal to release the Preeminent, my sister, into Ninjago to curse it and the other realms leaving them in eternal darkness and despair? Yep, that's me." Morro said, finishing her sentence and answering the question. "Cool. I'm the elemental master of magma. Cole and I met about five years ago at Jaylynn's girl school, also known as a prison so she could brainwash people to work for her. We took drama together, and then something just clicked." she explained, making an obnoxious clicking sound with her tounge.
"Anyway, Sakura, do you work here?" Cole asked. "Yepperdoo! How may I assist?" she asked. "Just give us the largest, most expensive cake." Cole ordered. "Right away." she left to a back room.
"Cole, do you have feelings for Sakura?" Morro asked, randomly. "Huh? Why?" Cole asked. "Just answer me." Morro ordered, not looking at Cole. "Uhh... no. I guess i used to... why?" Cole asked. Morro didn't reply. "Ooh... you... i... no, Morro. I love you and only you." Cole stated. "Really?" Morro asked. Cole nodded. "Ok."
"Hey peeps! Imma back! Here you go, that'll be $687.09" Sakura said, handing Cole the box. "I'll pay, Cole. Here." Morro put the money (in cash) on the counter. "BYE! SEE YA!" Sakura called as they left.
The couple went to the park and ate their cake in peace... but the peace didn't last very long... (dun dun dun!)
To be continued...
Ok, this was rushed. Sorry. Good day/night!
