I'm having a great day and I have some time to myself today, so I've decided to post this! I'll be posting a little Christmas Ninjago later today

Emily sat alone in a room, reading a book as the Destiny's Bounty flew through stormy weather. Zane walked into the room.
"I heard from Paige, that your father left you?" He sounded hesitated to ask, and she looked up at him.
"That's right. He decided that parenting was way to much responsibility for him." Emily put a bookmarker in her book, then closed it. "So that just left me and Paige."
"You have no other family?" Zane asks as he sits in a chair.
"Nope." She shook her head. "Dr. Cyrus Borg took us under his wing after that, and Paige has a fondness of calling him uncle, which he doesn't mind." She smiled a little.
"For so long I thought I was an orphan." Zane started, and Emily blinked. "Until recently when I found out my orgins."
"And now you know who you really are." Emily smiled, and Zane nodded.
"Yes. And even though I have my memories back, I miss him."
"That's sweet." Emily smiled, then it faded a little. "But I don't miss mine." She got up from the couch.
"Because he abandoned you?" Zane asked standing up to, and Emily nodded.
"Yeah. I can't forgive him. He left us a year after our mother died." She sat her book on the end table. "Paige was four."
Zane started to say something, when the Bounty tilted and he slid - right into her, pinning her to the wall and she blushed. Cole suddenly raced past the door with his hands over his mouth as he raced onward for the bathroom.
Zane backed away. "I am sorry." He turns and walks out of the room.
Still blushing, Emily slides down to the floor. "Whoa." She breaths as she waves a hand in her face.

"Will everyone please place their seat back and tray table in the full upright and locked position? We have reached our destination: Torchfire Mountain. Give it a minute while we settle into position." Nya grinned.
Jay sighs. "It's roasting out here."
"Heh, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Kai said
"Hey, what's with Sensei?" Jay asked, looking towards the elder.
"I do not know." Zane said. "He's been distant all morning."
"Ah, it is beautiful, is it not?" Sensei with a smile as the Ninja walk over to him.
Emily and Cole look at each other.
"Sensei, we are ready for the destruction of the Fangblades, yet you seem disinterested." Zane told him.
"You do not need my approval to finish the task." Sensei said.
"Uh, but Sensei."- Jay started.
"Butts are for sitting." Wu cuts him off. "And besides, there will come a time when you will have to go on without me."
"You're talking crazy." Kai said. "You've been alive for, like, forever!" Cole hits him in the back. "Ugh!"
"What he is trying to say, you are like the sunrise. We cannot begin a day without you." Zane tried to correct Kai.
"Ah, but even the sun must go down so a new day begins." Wu replied.
"I don't like metaphors. What are you trying to say? Are you leaving us again?" Cole asked him.
"In meditation, my smoke visions have come to an end, and tomorrow I cannot see. This worries me."
"But it could a good omen!" Emily tried, and Jay bobbed his head.
"Yeah! You know, we destroy the Fangblades, then everything's gravy!"
"Let's just get rid of them, for good." Wu said, just before the Bounty jerks, unstable and Wu grabs a hold of the wooden plank after falling.
"Sensei! Hang on! We're coming!" Cole calls, he suddenly falls, but the Ninja each grab a hold of each other. "Unh! You're not going anywhere, old friend."
"Thank you, Cole."
"Argh!" Kai cried as he held Emily's ankles. "Nya, what's going on!?"
"Ah! Someone or something has overridden the system!" Nya's voice calls from the intercom.
"Pythor's on board!" Lloyd yells over the intercom next.
Pythor suddenly appears out of nowhere and steals the Fangblades. "Sorry I don't lend a hand, but I'm really in a rush. Got this whole Devourer thing going on." He chuckled. "Toodaloo!" He laughs.
"Where do you think your going?" Lloyd suddenly appeared with his fists on his hips. Paige stood next to him.
"Ah. A little cliche, don't you think?" Pythor asked.
"So what?" Paige demanded. "Give us back those Fangblades!"
"Uh, Cliche?" Lloyd asked, looking at Paige confused.
"I wouldn't expect a child to understand." Pythor said.
"Hey, I've grown up a lot!" Lloyd attacks, but Pythor dodges.
"Hm, puny strength, no fundamentals, sloppy footwork." Pythor said as he dodges everything that Lloyd attacks with. "You think you can defeat me?"
"I'm not trying to defeat you." Lloyd said. "I'm just trying to keep you busy until the cavalry arrives!"
The Samurai Mech lands and walks up to Pythor. Lloyd jumps, kicking Pythor in the face.
"Haha, I hit him! I hit him, guys!"
"Oh, as much as I would like to play with your overgrown toys. I have a ride to catch." Pythor says after he dodges the Samurai Mech, then jumps off the Bounty and lands on a Rattlecopter.
"No!" Lloyd cries.
"So long, suckers!" Pythor cheers as he holds the Fangblades close.
"Don't let go!" Jay cried when Emily's hands started to slip from his ankles.
"Me not let go?" She asks. "Kai! You don't let go!"
"You think I don't know that?" Kai asked, just before they all fell, but Nya caught them.
"Gotcha!"
"I don't think I've ever been more glad to see you." Jay sighed.
"That's my girl Jay!" Cole glared at him.
"And that's my sister, Cole!" Kai glared at him.
Nya rolled her eyes. "Come on, he's getting away!"
XxXxXxXx
The Ninja are preparing to go after the Serpentine.
"If Pythor returns the Fangblades to the City Of Ouroboros, he'll awaken the Great Devourer!" Wu said in concern.
"Well, we're not gonna let that happen." Nya said.
"Oh, what about me?" Lloyd asked his uncle.
"We need someone to stay with the Bounty." Kai told him, putting a hand on Lloyd's head.
"I thought I was doing that?" Paige frowned.
Lloyd nodded, looking at her. "Yeah! Didn't you see me kick Pythor in the face? I'm an asset. I kick butt! And face!"
"Patience, kid. You're too important now that you're the Chosen One." Cole continued, and Wu looked at him.
"Patience, hmm? Ah, the student has become the teacher."
"What do you say we play a little catch-up?" Jay suggested.
"It's my favorite game." Cole grinned.
"NINJA GO!" The Ninja call, summoning their vehicles as they jump off the Bounty.
Lloyd pouted as he folded his arms.
"How about a game of Uno?" Emily offered. And both Lloyd and Paige looked at each other.

An hour later, the Destiny's Bounty flew very shaky as it headed towards the Lost City. "Will you two stop arguing over the wheel!?" Emily yelled as she clung to the computer.
"But Emme! Lloyd doesn't know what he's doing!" Paige said.
"Hey!" Lloyd looked at her. "I'm the Green Ninja!" He puffed out his chest, he looked back at Paige. "Like you're any better?"
"At least I didn't take out a billboard!"
"I told you I didn't see it!"
"You can't even see over the wheel!"
"You can't either!"
"Alright!" Emily yelled, walking over to stand between the two. "That's enough!" She took the wheel. "I'm driving from now on!"
"Now look what you did!" Paige huffed, glaring at Lloyd.
"Me? I didn't do anything!"
Emily rubs her temples. "Alright, I've had enough of this."
XxXxXxXxXx
Thirty minutes later, the anchor from the Bounty hits the train.
"Lloyd!" Kai, Cole, Jay and Nya called out looking up at the Bounty.
"And Emily." Zane smiled.
"Hook, line and sinker!" Lloyd smiled
"To Ouroboros as fast as you can!" Cole exclaimed.
"Aye, aye Captain!" Paige said as she turned the wheel. She, and Lloyd were tied together with a rope.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Ok, girls, and Lloyd." Cole said. "Put us down right after that truck."
The Destiny's Bounty gently lowered down, and the Ninja raced off.
"Guys, wait up!" Emily yelled after untying the rope from Lloyd and Paige and the three raced off after the Ninja. But she soon slides to a stop when Zane turned and signaled for her to stop. She quickly guessed something happened inside that was clearly not meant for the children to see.
Lloyd, and Paige rammed into her from behind.
"Quick!" Emily grabbed both their hands. "Back to the Bounty!" She yanked them around and started running.
"But the Ninja!" Lloyd frowned as he and Paige struggled to keep up with Emily's long legs.
"There's no time!" Emily yelled, pulling the kids back into the Bounty.
