The Arachnid
In the darkness of night an eight legged creature crawled its way into the monastery. Its multiple red eyes scanned the surrounding area. It climbed the wall, its eight legs going faster and faster, till it got to the perfect place to nest. Unaware the inhabitants of the building slept peacefully through the night...
The blue and black ninja were playing video games into the game room.
"Eat my dust, motormouth!" Cole boasted as he turned his body with his car.
"Don't bet at it, dirt clod!" Jay moved closer toward the the screen and did his signature move.
They zoomed with their black and blue cars in the game, Ninjago Racers. They didn't even notice the hairy creature dangling next to their heads. The finish line came close and the blue car sped across. The screen zoomed in on it and then was filled with words, 'Player 1 wins!'
"I win! Take that, twinkle toes!" Jay celebrated by doing a dance. Cole pouted and folded his arms, then he saw the creature hanging next to to Jay. Suddenly, a michevious smirk appeared on his face. "Now, give me my money!" Jay held his hand out with a smirk.
"Okay, but don't look behind you," Cole said. Instantly, Jay spun around and looked behind him.
He yelp and fell to the floor. Cole and another two voices laughed. Two bodies arose from behind the couch. The one cladded in green held a stick with a fake spider hanging from it. The one in red fell over the couch laughing. Jay looked at them in shock, before tackling the green one.
"Get off me!" Lloyd screamed from underneath the blue ninja. He then picked him up and threw him on Cole, who was still laughing.
"Since when are you so afraid of spiders, Jay?" Kai chuckled and helped his 'brother' up.
Jay thought for a moment. "Um, well...I have this uncle. Uncle Marty. He once told me that spiders can…um...lay eggs in your brain." Jay said ashamed. The others stared at him in silence. "I've been scared of them since..."
"Its true, you know," Kai lied and looked with a serious face at Jay.
"What!?" Jay couldn't believe his ears.
"Yeah, I had this friend who collected spiders as pets. One morning his parents found him dead on the floor. The doctors said the spider climbed into his ear, made its way to his brain and lay eggs! When the eggs hatched the baby spiders ate his brain. Poor guy..." Cole joined in and tried to look sad.
"But-" Zane wanted to tell him that it was not true but got interrupted by Lloyd.
"But that's why we should keep our eyes open for any spiders so that doesn't happen to us," Lloyd warned but was laughing inside.
"I don't understand..." Zane said scratching his hard.
"Don't worry, buddy. You're a nindroid, they can't hurt you," Cole said and patted Zane on the back.
Jay looked wide eyed at his ninja counterparts. He was now more scared than ever of spiders. He didn't want the spider laying eggs in his head! Much less them eating his brain! How ca-
"Not funny guys! Stop trying to scare me!" Jay exclaimed and scratched his back where it was tickling.
"Jay, we're not near you," Kai said. Jay spun around and looked at all the ninja staring at him.
"But- but I swear," Jay spun around again, this time trying to look at his back. He saw nothing and relaxed. "Guess I'm just paranoid."
"Ya think," Cole said and started for the door.
"Oh, hello there," Zane said to something and all the ninja looked at him. Zane was crouched next to a big, hairy, red eyed spider!
"Spider!" Jay and Kai screamed at the same time. Kai, out of reflex, stomped on the spider which was about to climb onto Zane's hand.
"Well, that spider had a footastic day..." Every body looked unamused at the black ninja. "What?"
"Just don't..." Lloyd shook his head at his friend.
"I'm sorry, if you can't take my hilarious jokes, I should just leave!" Cole stomped out of the room and mumbled something about checking on his chilli.
"Temper, Cole!" Sensei Wu screamed from somewhere in the monastery.
The ninja just stood and looked at each other.
"It wasn't necessary to kill the spider, Ka-" Zane spoke first but was interrupted by Jay.
"You saved us! We are eternally grateful!" He hugged Kai.
"It was just one small spider, guys. No need to get worked up about it," Lloyd said and grabbed a game controller. He pressed play and was soon in his own little world speeding away with a race car. Kai broke free from Jay's grip and walked toward a corner in a room, his eyes fixed on something.
"Uh...guys? It wasn't just one spider..." He said and walked closer to the corner.
"What do you mean?" Zane walked next to his brother and gasped.
Jay peeked over his brother's shoulders before letting out a high pitched scream. He ran out of the room and into the ninja's bedroom.
"Did somebody say something?" Lloyd turned around from his game and looked at the red and white ninja. They shook their heads. The green ninja shrugged and turned his attention back to the game.
Kai and Zane looked at the million little egg sacks scattered across the wall occupied by a few small spiders. Kai's hand began glowing before it was engulfed in flames.
"Stand back, Zane! I'm about to torch these spiders!" The fire wielder exclaimed and held his hand at the webs.
"No!" Zane pushed Kai's hand away. "There's no need for violence, Kai. I'm sure they mean no harm."
"Uh...we are talking about the same thing here, right?" Kai questioned and looked at Zane.
"Guys, what's wrong with Jay? He just put on earmuffs," Cole came through the door and looked at the ninja.
"He's just afraid of the spiders... hey, your not mad anymore!" Kai said.
Cole ignored his comment and went to look at the spiders. "That's gonna be a lot of spiders," he said before taking a handful of the egg sacks. He started for the door.
"What are you going to do with those?" Kai asked and looked suspiciously at the earth wielder.
"Uh...I'm not going to throw this in the food," the black ninja lied and without out waiting for a response, ran out of the room.
"That was weird..." Kai said and turned around. "But not as weird as that." He meant Zane who was talking to the spiders.
"Hello, I'm Zane. I sense you are about to hatch. Do you mind going outside when you are done?" Zane talked to the unhatched spiders.
"Okay, that's it! I'm gonna burn these things!" Kai's hand caught flame.
Hey, guys! Guess what? I'm backk! I hope the chapter makes up for my absence and I'm sorry to do this but I won't be taking any request till further notice. So keep those ideas written down and I'll notify you when you can request again. Happy Fathers day!
Oh, and the first one who can spot the reference that I took out of popular animated movie gets a shout out in the next chapter! ( I think I made it too obvious)
Byeeeee!
