Chapter 9: The Trouble of Leon
Lloyd's POV
I woke up with a start. I suddenly felt very homesick. I can't believe I went a whole week without my father in these times! I just wanted to go home when my team marched into my room with Alice.
"Up! Up! Up! Today isss a busy day!" Alice said.
"Where's Acciala?" I asked.
"She'sss with Donald and her team. Don't worry. You'll sssee her tonight." Alice said.
After an entire morning of preparation, cleaning, and putting that shinny stuff on my skin again, my team left me alone in my room with Alice.
"What am I wearing tonight?" I asked.
"Sssomething, green." Alice said. "Not like your green ssssuit you wore at the showing, but sssomething different."
"Like, what?"
"Like, life. Life issss green."
"I don't understand."
"Think about it Lloyd, plantsss are green. We must eat plantsss to survive. Green givesss usss life."
"Ohh, now I see."
A few hours later, I was in a green suit with brown shows. The shoulders of my shirt were sky blue, and my collar was yellow. I was supposed to sport a meadow scene.
"Oh, look. It's cutie-boy!" Leon started teasing me. "What's this? What a stupid outfit!" He grabbed me by my back collar and lifted me up.
"Let me go! Let me go! Acciala! Acciala!" I screamed.
"She's not gonna come save you now! Who's gonna save you? Huh? Huh?" Leon laughed.
"Leon, Leon, Leon, perhaps you should be more observant of your surroundings and not speak what you don't want others to hear." Acciala appeared out of nowhere.
"Ha! And what are you gonna do? Huh? Huh?" Leon teased, tightening his grip around my collar, starting to chock me.
"Acciala! Acciala! He's chocking me!" I chocked out.
"Put him down, Leon."
"Or what? You'll punish me? Oh, I'm so scared!" Leon mocked.
"No, but we sure can." Hannah, Alice, Donald, and Skales stepped forward.
"Put the boy down, Leon. Or you will be killed by me persssonally." Skales said.
"Fine." Leon put me down, then he shoved me to the ground and almost stepped on my face. Acciala punched him on his jaw, hard at that. He fell back and was going to get ice when the show started.
"Perfect timing." Acciala smirked. "Go on, Leon, go show your face to the world."
"I now give you, sssnakessss and people of Ninjago, Leon. The male fighter for darkness!" Lasha called Leon on stage.
Skales, Alice, Donald, Hannah, and Acciala all pushed Leon on stage. Then Acciala helped me up.
"Thanks for standing up for me."
"No problem."
"Actually, we may have a problem." Skales said. "Acciala just broke one of the rulesss proceeding the Games. However, sssince it wassss for self-defense, I'll let it ssslide. But just thisss once."
"Thank you, Skales." Acciala thanked.
Leon came running backstage. When he pasted Acciala, his said, "I hate you. You…"
"No sssswearing before the Gamesss!" Skales yelled. I used to hate Skales, but now he might be helpful later on. Just maybe.
"I will personally kill you." Leon said to Acciala. He then turned to me. "And you as well." And he stormed off.
