I haven't updated in three weeks...

I'M SO SORRY! WAAAAH!

Alright, a few things to say. Yes, the holidays are nearly here and I haven't updated in FOREVER, but I've been really busy with school work. Hopefully by the end of the term I can finally start posting more often.

The good news is that I've started a Deviantart account (it's still CraftyNinjaCat13)! I'll be posting random fanart that I drew there, probably mostly Steven Universe, but also Ninjago. Check it out! Oh yeah, and the first few episodes of Hands of Time are out in English! The audio is pretty crackly, but at this rate I don't care anymore!

Anyway, that's about it! Review, vote and enjoy!

Cole slowly opened the gate that led to the garden, gardening clippers in hand. Wonders. Well, the garden surely was WONDERful, so the eye could have been hidden in there. But...hidden in plain sight? Oh First Spinjitsu Master, this was going to be hard.

Walking around the garden, Cole was filled with a newfound sense of disgust. He shuddered and gagged as he passed the seemingly sentient plants, no longer blown away by its beauty.

Cole felt a nip at his feet, and he looked down. It was a yellow snapping plant. They had tried to 'attack' him before. However, this time they seemed a lot more aggressive, actually trying to BITE him instead of nip at his heels.

Cole was so busy trying to step on them, he didn't notice the brick wall surrounding the garden slowly open, like a mouth. A bunch of glowing blue snapping plants came out of wall's newly formed mouth, slowly slithering towards him.

Before Cole could even scream, the plants grabbed him with their mouths and started dragging him towards the wall.

"NO!" Cole screamed, dropping the pair of clippers.

The plants hissed as the wrapped around him, bringing him closer and closer towards the mouth. Cole didn't know what would happen if he was dragged inside, but he didn't want to find out. With one hand, Cole dragged himself away from the plants with one hand and quickly grabbed the clippers. As fast as he could, he cut all the plants to little pieces.

The mouth turned back into an ordinary wall, and everything was silent again, minus Cole's ragged breaths and pounding heart.

He heard a buzzing noise, and he looked up. A flock of button eyed humming birds descended on his like a swarm of flies, circling him.

"Get off!" Cole yelled, trying to swat the birds away.

The birds weren't after him. Two birds grabbed the stone that Kai and Lloyd had given him and flew off. Cole got up on his feet and chased after them. As they flew higher in the air, Cole grabbed his hat and threw it at the birds with all his might. Luckily, it was a direct hit, and the birds fell to the ground.

Cole ignored the sawdust leaking corpses and picked up the stone.

"Why steal this?" Cole asked.

There was a hole through the middle of the stone, and he looked through it. He gasped. Everything he saw was black and white.

Cole looked through the hole in the stone, scanning the garden in case it showed some sign of a ghost's eye. After a bit of searching he saw a bright red sphere peek out from the black and white blur.

"What's that?" he whispered, taking the stone away to see it as it was.

Immediately it sprung to life. It was the mechanical butterfly he rode on with Other Misako. Speaking of which, Other Misako was sitting on top of the butterfly, deformed and looking a lot more like a pumpkin than before, with leaves instead of hair and a pasty orange complexion.

Cole screamed as the mechanical butterfly raised a pincer and started to attack Cole.

What the heck?! Aren't butterflies supposed to have tiny feet instead of pincers? AAAAAAAAAHHH! Cole thought as ran onto the bridge to escape. The mechanical butterfly went after him, swiping a pincer down and blowing a huge hole in the bridge.

As the mechanical butterfly started to fall through the hole, Other Misako pulled her hand out of the the glove that was controlling her, and with her last bit of strength pulled a ball off of the the butterfly's left antenna.

"Taaake it!" Other Misako slurred as she began to fall though the hole. Cole dashed towards Other Misako and took the ball out of her hand just before she fell straight through the hole, and into the pond below.

As she slowly sunk into the pond, everything started to turn to black and white. Cole gasped as the once beautiful garden quickly turned to grey stone.

While Cole surveyed the scene, he heard a voice coming from the ball that Other Misako had given him.

Bless you, mister! You found me! But there are still two more eyes left to find.

Cole held the eye tight. He had found the twin's eye. But one eye wasn't going to be enough. He has to find the other eyes.

He looked up at the sky and saw the moon. It was slowly being blocked out by a shadow. He gulped.

Looks like he did have a deadline.

Will Cole find the other eyes? Does the Cat come in at any point? When will I start updating sooner? Find out next time, on Colemanite! Stay tuned!
