Hellooooooooooo :D I is back with another oneshot :3 I'm so excited for the summer since I'm going to start the story around then. I don't think I'll start right at the beginning because at the 30th of July I have a school trip to Spain, so yeah, after that's over I'll start. Also, I'll finally reveal what the story's going to be about (Firstfandomfangirl, CrystalliaWriting and Zena: you already know .w.) It's going to be a fanfic based on Morro's backstory :D. Unfortunately, it won't feature the main characters very often, at the beginning they will be there but then it's just Morro and a bunch of characters you've never met before (Until the end obviously, and young Wu will be there at the end cuz you know c: ). Hopefully you'll like them just as much as you liked Stavros ;u; , or more :3. Who knows? I mean I wasn't expecting you guys to like him, I thought he was just some character to help with plot but you guys were REAL upset when I killed him off XD (Also this oneshot is going to be important so yeah :^) Anyways, enough of my babbling, ONTO THE ONESHOT :D
"Monaca!"
"Monaca wake up!"
The green haired girl woke up and sat at her bed; she rubbed her tired eyes and looked up to see two very familiar faces.
"We managed to sneak over to the girl's dorm, none of the adults saw us, and it was all thanks to my master plan, isn't that great!" The boy grinned smugly.
"N-No you didn't. You just said we'd make it to the girl's dorm without having any of the grown-ups see us. Th-That's not exactly a plan..." The smaller boy mumbled intertwining his fingers anxiously.
"Yeah, yeah whatever you say Armin." The boy sighed.
"Geez, why did you have to come over here? When the adults come to wake us up you're going to be in so much trouble! You just had to drag poor little Armin along as well, you know he always agrees with others because he's so shy Jason." Monaca scolded him.
"Well I'm sorry. You're always complaining you're by yourself with all these girls who are mean to you all the time. We only get to see each other at break or when we eat, that's not very much is it? We just came to say hello, right Armin?"
"R-Right..."
"See?"
Monaca sighed "Fine. I'm happy to see you, but I just don't want you to get in trouble."
(Ok so here's a quick description of what these three look like cuz I have no idea how to say it in the story without sounding incredibly boring in a scene like this. It's harder with OC's in fanfic XD
Jason-Messy mud brown hair, mostly short and only reaches his ears but his back hair reaches the neck. He has blue eyes and always wears sporty stuff such as shorts and tank tops.
Armin-Black hair that is neat and short but also a little messy but has a short stranded ahoge curling out of the top of his head. Has black eyes. Wears a no-sleeve sweater over a white shirt with sensible pants. His sleeves are a little big for him so his hands don't really stick out much.
Monaca-Green hair thats short and stranded in many different areas. She has small red ribbons keeping her bangs hanging at the sides. Has green eyes but darker than Lloyds and brighter than Morro's. Wears a puffy long sleeved white shirt and has a light blue tank dress to go over. Wears red patent shoes with white socks.
Also they're all ten years old but Jason's the eldest and Armin's the youngest by month gap.
They've also known each other since they were babies because they were all dumped in the orphanage like that.
OK THATS IT CARRY ON)
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from the outside.
"Shoot! Someone's coming!" He hissed; he and Armin hid under Monaca's bed. It was big enough to hide them in but wasn't too big so that any of the adults could see them.
All the children were sat at tables eating breakfast. Monaca of course, sat with Armin and Jason. They were her only friends, same for them. The boys teased Armin a lot because of how fragile and shy he was. Jason was the only boy defending him from them: he was also strong thanks to him being so talented at sports. The boys didn't like Jason either because he was not interested in the things they were interested in, and the fact that he was Armin's friend as well.
Monaca didn't have any friends in the girl's dorm; they were all mean to her and were constantly trying to act like teenagers. Whenever the adults took them on trips to the city, a few of the girls are often dared to steal makeup from nearby shops when the carers weren't looking. When Monaca first met them, she was dared, but she didn't want to because she knew it was wrong. She had also never heard of the 'snitch' rule. She told the carer in charge of their dorm of what the girls were doing and were now kept under watch, so they didn't steal anymore. The girls hated Monaca and Monaca decided she hated them too.
Some girls from nearby began to stare at the three of them and began whispering and sniggering. Monaca flushed red because she knew they were talking about her.
"Don't bother worrying about them, they're just idiots." Jason told her, glaring at the girls in disgust.
The girls were aware that he had glared at them; however this only made them motivated to do something worse. One of the ringleaders of the group began to approach Monaca.
"Oh nooo...Jessica's walking over here." Monaca hissed nervously.
"It's cool, I'll handle it." Jason reassured her.
"Hey weed, get your butt over here, boys and girls aren't supposed to sit with each other that's gross!"
Jason stood up "Don't call her weed!"
"Ohhh I'm sorry, I must of not got the memo...I'll leave you alone to do whatever lovebirds." Jessica ended the conversation coldly and walked off, probably to spread more rumours.
Armin spoke up "U-Umm, actually it's 'must have', and j-just because a boy and girl like being together doesn't mean that they're...you know..."
"Urrgh...I wasn't ASKING you about my English nerd, and yes, it does. I mean why would a girl ever hang out with a boy unless they're dating? I hang out with Mike but only because we're together. SAME THING."
Jessica took a turn and left with a smug look on her face, but as soon as she did, her foot slid on a big pile of potato mash that had dropped onto the floor. She ended up sitting on it in her fallen position. Once she realized she was sitting on mashed potato, she screamed and had a hissy fit so the adults had to deal with her.
Jason and Monaca were laughing like crazy and Armin grinned trying his best to hold back a laugh.
"Whelp, she got what she deserved." Jason snickered. The other two chuckled in agreement.
One of the adults approached their table. She was the Reverend Mother of the children's facility and had worked there for a very long time.
"Armin, Mother Baker would like to see you." She informed him.
"B-But...Sister Clarence, I haven't done anything wrong..." Armin stammered nervously.
"No you haven't, you're not in trouble dear so don't worry."
"So why am I going?"
"You'll see."
"Wait..." Jason stood up out of his seat to come in better contact with her "Armin's not gonna be adopted, is he?"
"Well-...not exactly but he isn't staying here anymore." She told him "But you should be happy for him, after all it is an orphans dream to have a proper family."
"But WE'RE his family! I-It can't be! We've known each other since...like...-forever! It was going to be me, Monaca and Armin together forever, why do we have to get separated!"
"I'm sorry but it was of their decision to adopt young Armin, there is nothing we can do about it. However you can call each other every now and again." She reassured him.
"THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!"
The entire hall turned to a deafening silence. The children stared at Jason, wondering what was happening.
"Sister Elliot could you please escort the children to their rooms please."
"Yes ma'am." She ushered the children into a line and they all left the dining hall. As they left, the children gave the three weird looks making the situation even more uncomfortable.
When the hall was empty, Monaca stood up as well "Please Sister Clarence, please tell those grown-ups to take us as well. We won't be naughty at all, we'll be really good, right Jason."
"R-Right!"
Sister Clarence chuckled sadly "I wish I could but I'm afraid that may be a little unrealistic, the parents probably wouldn't be prepared to raise three children at once if they're only asking for one," she saw the children's devastated expressions and sighed "but I'll see what I can do..."
The two cheered and hugged Armin tightly.
"But please don't get your hopes up; I'm not entirely sure she'll say yes." She reminded them.
She told the three to follow her up to Mother Baker's room.
"I'm sorry, but we can't force them to accept the two of you as well, I'm afraid that's just how it is." Mother Baker told the children. She was the owner of the orphanage.
"Well, that's it then. I'm afraid you two have to go back. Say goodbye to Armin." Sister Clarence told the two.
"You mean we'll never see him again?" Jason asked her with a fearful expression.
She sighed sadly "Not for a long time, no."
Armin began to cry "I don't want to leave, not if Monaca and Jason aren't coming with me."
Monaca began to cry too.
"Please children, don't make a scene of things."
Suddenly the door opened to reveal a sister guiding three adults to the room. One had a long white beard, one was a woman wearing glasses and her hair was tied into a long plait, and the last man didn't have any facial hair but he was about the same age as the other two.
Mother Baker bowed her head respectfully "Lovely to see you, this was the child you requested to take in." She held her gentle hands on Armin's shoulders showing who she meant.
"Yes, thank you." The man with the white beard told her.
She then guided them to three seats at her desk and handed them a slip of paper "Now just sign here and you'll be free to take him home."
Suddenly Monaca ran towards the man with grey hair, threw her arms around him and began crying into his robes.
Sister Baker looked embarrassed "I'm terribly sorry sir! Monaca get off of him this instant!"
"No it's fine; the little one just needs some comforting that's all," He smiled gently "what's your name?"
"M-Monaca...please sir, take us too, I don't want Armin to leave!" She cried out in between sobs.
"Are you and Armin friends?"
Monaca nodded, she still had her face buried in his chest "And Jason too..."
The man looked at Jason who was standing next to Armin with tears in his eyes.
"Well I wouldn't want to separate you three. You're clearly very close and if that's the case, we'll take you both back to the monastery as well." He smiled.
Jason's face lit up as soon as he said that "You mean it, you're gonna take us home as well?!"
"I'm sure we can, that is if Mother Baker is okay with it." The lady looked towards her.
The children looked hopefully at her until it made the Reverend Mother chuckle.
"Alright."
Monaca removed herself from the man, then hugged Armin tightly along with Jason and cheered.
It took a while to get all the documents signed until they were finally allowed to leave. The children said goodbye to Mother Baker and Sister Clarence since they had been so kind (Of course, they didn't bother doing the same for the other children).
As they walked out, Armin held hands with the lady, Jason with the bearded man and Monaca was carried in the man's arms since she refused to walk. She felt so safe and warm in his arms that she didn't want to let go.
"Oh um...can I ask you a question? What are your names?" Jason asked the three adults sheepishly.
The lady smiled "My name is Misako. This is Wu: my brother in law, and that's my husband: Garmadon."
Jason suddenly became fascinated "Garmadon?! We don't really watch television often but I remember seeing you on once. Aren't you like, that guy with the helmet and the really cool looking red eyes, oh, and FOUR arms?!"
Garmadon laughed nervously "Yes, that's who I used to be. I couldn't exactly help it though, when I was a child I was bitten by a venomous snake called the Devourer. That caused me to get red eyes and become evil later on. It's not something I am proud of. But thanks to my son, I am cured of the poison."
"You have a son?" Monaca looked up at Garmadon with innocent eyes "Isn't he the green ninja! He's amazing!"
"Indeed he is." He beamed.
"Wait...if your son is the green ninja, does that mean we're going to meet him and the other ninja as well?" Armin asked with a hopeful expression on his face.
"Yes you will. You'll be living and training with them as well." Wu told him.
"Awesome!" Jason exclaimed.
Garmadon sighed as they reached the end of the street.
"Well then, shall we go?"
"B-But Garmadon...we're not even there yet." Armin told him.
"Exactly." He smirked.
Garmadon placed Monaca on the ground. The two men stopped and jumped up, as soon as they did, they landed on two beautiful dragons that glowed magnificently.
The children couldn't help but stare in amazement as the two elders offered their hands to them. Misako and Monaca climbed onto Garmadon's dragon. Armin and Jason went on Wu's.
"I'm gonna fall!" Armin whimpered.
"It's ok, we won't you little worrygut! It'll be fun!" Jason ruffled Armin's hair reassuringly and he managed to make a smile on his face.
The two dragons rose up into the air and flew off into the distance.
Finally, the two dragons landed gracefully in front of the monastery. Monaca's arms were still wrapped tightly around Garmadon, Armin looked traumatised but Jason sat there, breathing happily like he had just done an amazing stunt.
"That...was...AWESOME!" Jason yelled with an excited tone to his voice "Will we get to ride dragons too!"
Wu laughed "These dragons are elemental; you can't have one of these unless you are an elemental master."
Jason looked disappointed "Awww...no fair."
"But maybe one day we'll teach you how to ride our REAL dragon, of course you'll have to be much older." The sensei smirked.
"YAAY!"
Monaca still remained clutching Garmadon. He laughed half heartedly, removing her arms from his waist.
"It's okay; we're on the ground now."
Monaca sighed in relief.
Misako comforted Armin as well since he had a huge fear of heights.
Once the two senseis dispersed their dragons, they all headed to the Monastery.
"Are the Ninja inside?!" Jason asked them excitedly.
"Yes they are." Misako smiled "Make a good impression you three, because you're going to be new members of the family now."
The three children beamed in the most adorable way.
Sensei Wu opened the door. Cole and Jay were lounging on the couch and stuffing popcorn in their mouths whilst watching TV. When they saw Wu with a frown on his face, they quickly got up, spinjitsu tornadoed (Love these words I'm making up XD) everything and stood in front of them with sheepish smiles.
"Uhhhh...hi sensei..." Jay smiled nervously. His mouth was still full of popcorn so his voice was muffled; he quickly gulped it down and smiled again as if nothing had happened.
"Wow...we say we're bringing a surprise and yet you sit here and mess the living room, have you anything to say for yourselves?" Garmadon tried his hardest to sound firm, but he couldn't help but smirk at the enjoyment of telling them off.
"Sorry Sensei G." They chorused in monotone.
"Better." Wu concluded "Now that that's dealt with, I'd like to introduce you to the surprise we mentioned."
"Oooh! Ohhh! Did you bring new video games?!"
"No Jay."
"New outfits?!"
"No Cole."
"Candy?!" They chorused.
"No. That's enough, both of you. Now, say hello."
The two looked very confused until Wu revealed Jason to them, for a confident child, he seemed awfully shy at that moment.
"A kid? Where'd you get him from?" Cole asked.
"We adopted him as a matter of fact, and he's not the only one." Garmadon then revealed Monaca whilst Misako revealed Armin. Monaca was still holding Garmadon's hand.
"Aww they're so cute!" Jay cooed.
"I-I'm not cute!" Jason flustered suddenly, he was trying to impress them and didn't want to come off as a child who was small and helpless.
"Jason, h-he's only trying to be nice, you know." Armin reminded him with a quiet voice.
"B-But that isn't like me at all! I'm the fastest runner at the orphanage and probably the strongest, how is that cute?!"
"Just because you happen to be strong, doesn't mean you can't be cute as well, after all, you're still a child." Cole reminded him.
Jason then realized who he was talking to and he stared at him with starry eyes "Hey you're Cole! You're that guy who's REALLY strong and makes rocks appear in the ground! You're like...my favourite ninja!"
Cole chuckled sheepishly "Thanks!"
"Can you lift me up?! The grown-ups at the orphanage say I'm really heavy!"
"Sure thing kid."
Cole picked him up by his waist and hoisted him on his back effortlessly.
"Wow..."
"Trust me, I've lifted heavier things."
"Like what?"
"Oh...I dunno...like a truck." Cole purposely made himself sound casual.
"REALLY?!"
"Yup."
"Hey what's going on?" Nya was standing at the staircase with the rest of the ninja behind her.
Misako smiled "This is the surprise we were talking about: they're new members of the family. This is Monaca, Jason and Armin."
Nya, Skylor and Tasha squealed when they saw the kids and went to go say hi. The rest of the boys decided to greet them as well.
"You certainly like my dad huh?" Lloyd smiled at the small green haired girl clutching his father's robes. She nodded with a smile.
"Y-Yeah. He's very nice. Everyone here is very nice too." She smiled back shyly.
"I'm glad to hear that."
Whilst Armin was saying hi to Lloyd after he had greeted Monaca he looked towards the back and spotted another ninja. He had long strands of hair for a boy, and he had a neon green highlight in his hair.
Lloyd noticed Armin staring, he looked towards where the boy's eyes were gazed and sighed "That's Morro. He's a ghost. The reason why he's hanging in the background is because he's afraid he'll scare you."
Armin walked past them and slowly approached him. He was sitting at the edge of the staircase, waiting. When he noticed the small boy walk up to him, he looked surprised.
"Ummm...hello." Armin smiled. He looked shy but felt very brave. Normal he was a very asocial person, talking to someone first was something he'd only do with Monaca and Jason, certainly not a stranger.
"Hi." He said back to him plainly. Armin noted that he was probably not one to smile much.
"You're Morro, right?"
The long haired teenager nodded.
"That's a nice name," He beamed "I'm Armin."
Now that he was at a much closer angle to Morro, he realized something.
"Hey, I've seen you on TV a lot, is it true that you used to be a villain?" He asked him innocently.
Morro jumped a little, but then sighed "Yeah, but I wasn't myself. I'm not really proud of that. A lot of people are scared of me and other ghosts because of it."
"Lloyd told me that you were afraid of scaring me and Monaca and Jason, but you're not scary at all. You're actually my favourite ninja, even though you're kinda new. I just think it was a very brave thing to do to leave that mean giant and join the good side. That's why you're my favourite! I'm a scaredy cat, so I wish I could be more like you."
Armin blushed a little bit, he sounded really cheesy and weird, didn't he?
But then he smiled at him "Thanks...that's probably the nicest thing I've ever heard from someone I barely know."
Armin giggled a bit "I'm so happy we were taken here! Everyone's so nice, and I got to meet all of the ninja, including you! I'm really looking forward to growing up here."
"Oh...my...GOD."
Armin and Morro looked to face Jason staring in awe.
"I never thought I'd see the day! Armin, you're finally talking to a stranger!"
Armin thought for a little bit, but then beamed "I am!"
While the two celebrated Armin's accomplishment, Cole happened to be nearby since he was giving Jason a piggyback ride. The earth elemental spotted Morro sitting and offered him a hand.
"Get up you shy goof!" Cole smirked.
Morro smirked back and took his hand.
As the four boys regrouped with the others, Armin felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Life suddenly felt like it was going to get much better.
