A/N- I do NOT own Lucas and Laurie! Packerfan95- Lucas. KaitouKiwi- Laurie. Yay!
Chapter Nine: The Realization and Kai?
Lucas who saunter his way to the roof, knowing the two protectors are hanging on the roof. He wore his grey garb, golden shoulder gear in equipped. Finally as he reached to the door to the entrance of the upper building, he rested his hand on the door knob and twist it. Open casually and a sudden screech which was sounded like a bucket he accidentally slam into. But who would put a bucket in front the door, trying to block the person from inside?
He couldn't compel the door widely enough since the handle is jammed into the door bottom. So he pop his head through the door that was a size to fit a head through the door and noticed Zane only, who was awake in surprise. The Master of Water thought he snapped Zane from his beauty sleep...on outside! But what he was in thought that why an eroded rusty bucket?
"Zane? Could you tell me that why did you block the door just an bucket?" Asked Lucas.
Zane, who tip-toed his way, passing by napping Cole and Dareth and rise to Lucas and pulled the bucket away. "Good Morning, Lucas. Oh I'm sorry. This was a sign of an intruder entering. And the only way in and out is through this door."
"Let me see the bucket?" Lucas asked, Zane nodded and handed him an empty bucket.
Lucas peered the roof, as it seems Cole and strangely Dareth was there. But he knew Cole would be planning here all night. As the Ice Ninja detached the bucket that was stuck, Lucas can now strolled to the Master of Earth desk, contemplating his plans. Grabbed one of his sheets written already, he examined carefully as Zane grew close to his friend. Right on time, Dareth woke up from his nap, while adjusting his vision.
"Okay, who disturb my beauty sleep?" The brown ninja demanded.
Lucas switched his attention on Dareth and eyebrows lifted "Beauty sleep? Dude, you slept on the roof, on a rocky, shell stabbing to your back feeling. Forget it, I should ask you - why are you here?"
"Oh, I was looking around and Cole found me loitering around and make me come with him! And I got tired and camp here for tonight." Dareth lied between his teeth.
Zane shook his head, and Dareth immediately send his index finger to his lips to shush him. Dareth scratched his head and grimaced; the Nindroid was different from the others, but he have to be truthful for now on. He is his friends after all, but he just wanted to associate with the Ninjas.
"Oh I'm sorry, Ninjas. I just wanted to learn a few things from the masters of Spinjitzu. I'll just dragged myself to the exit then," Dareth simply sighs. Boost himself upward with knee support, he walked to the door. Out of nowhere, he felt a chilly hand rested on his right shoulder. Turn his head to his right to see the original Ice Ninja. A sturdy face upon to his friend.
"Dareth, no need to be upset." Zane calmly in low monotone.
"I agree with my best Nindroid friend too," Lucas added, approaching the Master of Ice and crumble Cole's work and sling it over his head and eventually dunk on to the Earth Ninja on the back of his head. Fortunately, Cole didn't flinch, or grumble.
"You become a teacher in Dojo. There is a few technique you have learn, self-contained, guidance for your peers and skillfulness in multiple ways. Like this for example, you have climbed your way here using the rope - to sustained forty story building to talk to Cole. And you ran to reach our destination but you didn't find us and decided to trace us here. Impressive." Zane lowly confessed. Dareth eyes widen, how does he know all this? Zane looked at the Master of Water with stern face. Causing the brunette-haired boy glance away and whistle instead. Wouldn't anticipate into their conversation.
"Lucas, do you have something to say for our friend who lend his space for us to train Lloyd?"
"I do. That's explain you being here." Lucas says and shrugged "Anyway, I need some privacy for Zane and Cole, please. Go to the washroom in our room or something."
Dareth smiled widely and slightly cheered "Yes! Uh I mean, well thank you for your company! I will be right back ninjas!"
With an instant, Dareth hustled to the stairs and shouting 'Yes, I'm so-'. Suddenly, Dareth accidentally tripped on the stairs and started to roll and collided his body on to the pavement concrete stairs. The duo gasped and raced to the steps. When they about to paced their way down to see if he's injured, a shout-out from the brown ninja, though his tone boomed in painful experience.
"Ow...I'm okay!" Echoed Dareth.
The two exchanges concern glances, then Lucas turn his back and headed to Cole. Dareth did screamed that he was OK, and Zane tailed Lucas and close the squeaky door. When Lucas is close to his work station, Zane wanted to ask Lucas meeting to see them.
"What do you need to see us?" Zane questioned.
"Not see, show you and Cole something." Lucas said, as he approach Cole and in progress on shaking him relentlessly.
"Hey, wake up!" No response from the Earth Ninja. Lucas stopped his movement and retreated his arms.
"He's out cold. Hmm..." Lucas rubbed his chin softly.
Lucas pointed at the city and screamed "Cole! There are cakes selling on the stand inside the building!"
No anvil from the Earth Ninja. Zane was about to interrupt until Lucas index finger and shush him. Zane obeyed in immediate and let Lucas wake up his leader. The Water ninja didn't want Zane to stop of what he was doing. He wanted to do his way of leaving the room for not telling where Zane and Cole was headed last night. It took him an hour to look for them till he met them on the roof. So he continued to get some attention on sleepy Cole.
"Wow. . . And it's free!" Again, no response.
"Even cake is not a wake up call for him. I thought it's his weakness,"
"He stayed awake all night to designate a plan to track down Lord Garmadon, my friend." Zane told Lucas.
Shaking Cole causing him melt his way to the floor with a snore. Cole released his grip and one paper flies from his desk to Lucas hands. Training his eyes to scan the plan G, Cole drew almost every team, enemies and the building carefully. His interest was now on Cole's plan.
"This looks really good! Look Zane, why would he...wait...he forgot to add me in combat!" Lucas snarled.
Zane knew Cole plans has to be one hundred percent perfected. Every team has a unique abilities that is benefit to prospect their success in brutal situations. Since Lucas got a better view on his rejected plans, he smirked unexpectedly. Lucas crumbled his paper and held his right arm, the bucket filled with water of his power and said "Zane, ice please."
When Zane finish his part, Lucas sink the water on to Cole face. With a chilling and soaking sensation, awakening the Master of Earth. Cole inhaled loudly, eyes actively awake and his body shakily shivered. In sitting position, he saw someone's feet in front of him. Gazed and lifted his head to see Lucas still holding the bucket to pour every drop of water tapping on his black shaggy hair and growled.
"W-what w-was that f-for?!"
Lucas tossed the rusty bucket aside and dusted his hands "That's for not waking up. Also forgotten about me in your plan! And now that you're awake, it's Kai that I was trying to draw your attention, dirt clog." Lucas said, offering a hand to Cole.
Cole hesitated for a brief moment on Lucas, but if it's about Kai that Lucas was trying to give him a wake up call, he accepted his offer and Lucas reeled him to his feet. Cole was obviously exhausted, but he'll let it subside. Zane, obliviously stunned because that was the Grey Ninja plan B, and got spare blankets and helped his leader by slinging it over his shoulders.
"T-thanks,"
"Your welcome. Lucas, what is about Kai?" Zane asked.
Lucas already strolled to the door, force the door open and said "Well, Kai is... let's just say that he...Umm, just follow me. My dad is here too; he was patiently waiting for all of the missing member gathers."
The final three arrived to their apartment door, Lucas was in front, Cole and Zane was behind. When he was about to open the door but hesitated, making Cole raised an eyebrow anxiously.
"What is it Lucas?" Cole asked.
"Uhh, you wouldn't like this boys. Let's say, my dad got a friend now."
"Huh?" Said Cole and Zane together in unison.
Before the Ice and Earth Ninja could theorized, Lucas twists the knob, entering their room along with the two missing ninjas from their small compartment. Where Lloyd, Laurie, Jay, Sensei Wu, and Nya gathered in the tiny room. Right at that moment, the two saw their family and friends encircling something or someone. Everyone's eyes in the room fell to someone whom entered the room.
"Guys! When were you? And why are you soaked?" Jay said.
"Umm, on the roof, planning. Zane follow me along. And him poured freezing water on me!" Cole explained. He glanced at the familiar faces but he noticed Kai wasn't here. But Lucas was blocking the way on something to be shown soon, soon.
"Huh? Hey, where is Kai" Cole questioned.
"Well Zane and Cole, we got a large situation here we're dealing with." Wu said.
On that moment, Lucas stepped his way to allow the two get a better view. As they examined, Cole was lost, and Zane just intentionally stared.
On the floor, an old man criss crossed, wore red garb that doesn't look suitable on him, and his hair is silver flipped back. Laurie kneeling near the elder and one hand sitting on his shoulder. The elder looked at the two, standing like a statue.
"Eh? Who es those two?"
Zane was the one to spoke up "Um, Sensei, who is he..."
Before Zane could ask any further question, nor his problem been predicted, Laurie interrupted and testified "Don't you pay attention that one of the member is not on his bed nor discussing with us? Isn't it obvious? This elder is Kai!"
