Chapter Eleven:

Kai woke with a start, before silently slipping back out of the room, heading towards the front yard. He needed to think through his options before the plan is set into motion. A groan sounded from behind him, causing him to turn to look at what caused it. Jay yawned as he stretched, glancing over at Kai. "Is it time yet?"

"Not quite. Go get the others. We need to finalize our plan of action before we go in." Kai gently nudged Chiniago awake.

Jay bit his bottom lip, before speaking up. "Fine…but if your girlfriend kills me, you get to speak at my funeral."

"Thanks Jay." Kai waved the warning off.

Chiniago watched as Jay left the room, before turning to Kai. "You have a girlfriend? Is it serious?"

Kai blinked, startled by Chiniago's curiosity, before correcting him at what he was trying to imply. "She is not going to be queen of Archia. Sorry Chiniago."

A sigh escaped the old captain of the guards before he nodded solemnly to the gathering of ninjas and elemental masters. "I'll leave most of the planning to you fellas. Need anything, just let me know."

Kai nodded in agreement, before turning to find Jay in one piece next to Skylor. "Thank you for not killing Jay, Skylor."

Skylor snorted, even as she nodded her head in acknowledgement. Chiniago glanced at her, before glancing back at Kai quizzically. Kai ignored him.

~Meanwhile with Nya~

"I want this dress! It's perfect!" Nya screeched angrily as she snagged an electric blue wedding gown with white lightning strikes stitched into it.

The flustered seamstress looked at the gown with horror, probably wondering where Nya got it from, before turning to face the young princess. "You cannot wear that to a royal wedding. Especially you're wedding! It is a monstrosity! I mean look at it, who in the right mind will want a dress with…with leggings sewn on the inside! And those sleeves, why are they covered in steel?! Absolutely not! My dress works perfectly for today."

Nya glanced over at the solid white monstrous gown with gold trimming that she might have liked before her move to Ninjago but now, you couldn't pay her enough to get her to wear it. Besides that, she had her old seamstress from her childhood make this gown. She could easily fight in it as well as be lady-like. "I want this gown. You will allow me to wear this blue wedding gown to the wedding." Nya smirked as she watched as the Command took hold, forcing the Galatian seamstress to concede to her.

Smiling triumphantly, she ducked into her walk-in closet where she then changed out of the ridiculous gown she was wearing and into her dream wedding gown. She most definitely was saving this one for her actual wedding with Jay. A happy sigh escaped her as the rough material brushed against her skin. The weight of the metal, which her old seamstress was worried would be too heavy, felt heavenly and was much welcomed to her. Picking up her toolkit, she slipped it into one of the many hidden sheaths in the gown, another aspect of it that the bewildered seamstress that made it couldn't understand.

"Now I am ready to slow down the wedding…. I hope." Nya whispered to herself, before spinning around and leaving the confines of the closet. She walked over to her vanity where a miniature samurai x helmet lay. Picking it up, she set it carefully upon her head. The helmet sat atop of her head the same way a hat should fit upon her. A grin flashed across her face. Oh was she ready…

….

Nya lifted the bouquet of her favorite flowers to her nose to sniff, a wry smile crossing her lips upon noticing that they went well with her wedding gown. Who knew liking the Mistique Flower would come in handy one day? The blue and silver petals nearly blended in with her gown.

"There she is! The most beautiful bride of the year!" Coronzo appeared next to her, beaming in his stiff looking black tux.

Nya rolled her eyes, before turning her back to him. "Didn't anyone tell you not to look at your bride on the big day? It is terribly bad luck. And what are you wearing? Surely you have a blue gi lying around somewhere?"

Coronzo frowned, rolling his eyes slightly. "It is not bad luck to see my bride on our big day. And what do you mean about what I'm wearing? I could ask you the same thing! That outfit is right on the ugly side. That and what is a gi?"

Nya sighed, realizing that her dream wedding would have to wait. At least till Jay actually proposes to her. "A gi is the uniform of a special group of law enforcement on Ninjago. I like how it looks."

"Of course… I will look into getting one made for when we celebrate the birth of our first kid." Coronzo didn't see the issue with that, after all Ninjago believed he was the good guy, and Kai was the one in the wrong, last he checked.

Nya bit her bottom lip, struggling not to laugh, or explain that no one gi was the same, each one customized to their owner. "I need to wash off all this makeup. We'll talk later." Nya walked off, ducking quickly into the ladies room. Once she was sure she was alone, she turned to face the mirror and quickly removed her makeup, a large smirk crossing her face. "When you're behind bars."

~Meanwhile with Kai~

Kai ran his fingers over the sharp blade of his sword, his heart pounding in his throat. He knew so many things could go wrong…but he wanted everything to go right. Shaking his head, he turned to face Zane and Lloyd; the two were watching him nervously. "I need to call the Intergalatic Senate about Coronzo. Hold the fort for me while I'm gone?"

"Yeah, sure thing. You need to talk with Sensei still though." Lloyd pointed out, even as Zane nodded in confirmation.

Sensei looked up from where he was going over tactics with Misako, a frown crossing his face. "Tell me what exactly?"

"Nothing!" All three ninjas bolted for it.

….

"Il est temps de rompre le mariage!" Chiniago called out suddenly, causing everyone to either stop practicing their fighting skills or look up from discussing tactics.

Kai swallowed hard as he stood shakily up. Here went nothing…

A/N: Done! Next stop the actual crashing of the wedding! And Kai's little explanation about what he meant by Skylor isn't going to be queen. You're all gonna love it.

Review!
