NYAH! WHY CAN'T I UPDATE FASTER?! :C
Review replies(prolly really long cause it's been 3 chapters since I did this ;_;)
BinxAngelo: I know, right? ;)
Nurse Medusa: Lol I'm glad you liked it. xD I really like Lea's name btw. It's really cute and fun to say. ^ ^ Happy Easter!
Starry-eyed ninja: Wait... shark? What shark? *hides* All incest ships are gross. |:P So, um, Lea, who showed up last chapter, is ALSO the Master of Animals, so maybe Kloey could be a shapeshifter...? Sorry I didn't warn you about this sooner, I kept forgetting. :P And yes, Kloey has been doing a good job with reviews. xD
Rosalinawysteria92: Aww, thanks! ^ ^
1234: Good to hear people like her. I'll do my best... haha yeah, it was a prank. Obviously.
Petal: Oh no. :( I'm so sorry. If she was a Christian, she is in Heaven. Was she?
Samantha: Sorry if I freaked you out. No harm was meant. ^ ^'
Windy: HEY! THAT'S MY CANDY! GIVE IT BACK! *chases you* Don't eat too much candy, you'll feel sick. I am speaking from personal experience here... XP
The Mayor of Ninjago City: She's doing her best. ^ ^
Count Raptor: *facepalm* you and your puns. Also, GOOD ENDING?! You WANT them all to die?! Either that or you realized it was a prank and are messing with me. One or the other.
Leb: I saw the 7th Star Wars movie (srry I don't remember the name lol) a couple days ago, and it's my favorite out of all of them. I really loved it. ^ ^ BB-8 is so CUTE! *screams* Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching The Clone Wars, as soon as my Mom approves it. ^ ^
Lilly: Technically Bansha did "steal" Morro, if you count literally kidnapping him and chaining him to a wall... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
KRR: "Awesome chapter"? And why did you review twice? Is someone impersonating you?
The Pink Ninja: That was the intended effect. xD lol, your story is pretty funny. I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing. ^ ^
Sweetfierce: Gotta watch that autocorrect. It might turn "Bansha" into "Banana". Which it actually did. xD
I think I got all of them. Hopefully. Sorry if I missed anyone's review!
Chapter 12
"His hideout is here." Lea pointed to a spot on the map, a cluster of rectangular buildings on the west side of the city. "In one of these warehouses. I'm not sure exactly which one."
"And you were held there?" Lloyd marked the spot with a red marker.
"Yes."
"Why did he capture you?"
"I'm an elemental master. That's the only reason I can think of."
"Really?" Lloyd looked up at her in surprise. "What's your element?"
"Animals. I can use the abilities of animals, as well as summoning animal forms made from pure elemental power to protect me."
"Cool. So, like, you can use a bird's ability to fly?"
"Among other things, yes. I can also use the heightened hearing of a cat, the sure-footedness of a goat, things like that." the black-haired girl nodded.
"Okay. So, when you were in the Overlord's base, did you hear their plans?" Lloyd asked hopefully.
"Some of them." she nodded. "They're using your friend as bait to try to get you to surrender. You should already know that, though."
"Yeah..." Lloyd sighed. "We were talking to him, my friend, right before you got here. It's..." he frowned. "it's weird he didn't mention you."
"I'm sure he saw me." Lea shrugged.
"Oh, wait. Chen cut him off at some point. I think Morro was about to reveal something Chen didn't want us hearing. That could be you."
"Maybe he was too embar***ed to admit that I'd escaped." she grinned. "But, about your friend..." she paused, her smile fading. "...Morror, was it?"
"Morro." Lloyd corrected her.
"Right. Well, I don't think you have any choice but to surrender. I mean... I know what they're capable of. They didn't hurt me," she added quickly at Lloyd's shocked expression. "but I've heard stories of Chen's cruelty, which is nothing compared to the Overlord. He has no feelings. Except maybe rage." Leas shook her head. "if you really care about your friend..." Lloyd stared down at the map on the table in front of him, his shoulders slumping. He had been clinging to the hope that Morro might escape, or maybe that they could rescue him, but now...
"Well, wait." he frowned, straightening up. "We know where he is now. We should be able to go and rescue him, shouldn't we?" he looked up at Lea hopefully. She frowned in concentration.
"Wait, I just remembered something." she said at last. "They said they were going to move their base to a new location. An island somewhere."
"Oh." Lloyd said dully. After a few moments of silence, they were both startled when Lloyd's phone buzzed. The green ninja opened it to see a new message from Chen.
"Well? Were you convinced or not? You know what will happen to him if you don't surrender!" Lloyd stared at the phone for a few long seconds, then, slowly, began to type out a message.
"Alright. I surrender. Tell me where to meet you."
ReturnOfTheOverlord
"HA!" Chen's shout jarred Morro from his light sleep, and the ghost raised his head to see the red-haired man grinning triumphantly at his phone. "It worked! Lloyd surrendered!" No! Morro stared helplessly at the ground. This was all his fault. If he had fought harder, if he had escaped when he had the chance, Lloyd wouldn't be in this mess. They were going to lose, and it would be all his fault.
"Don't blame yourself." He looked up at Bansha's voice to see the female ghost floating over to him. "It was inevitable that the Overlord would win. That's why I took his side."
"If you had sided with us, he might not have." the wind master gave her a dirty look before staring back down at the ground.
"I'm sorry, alright?!" she sounded offended. "I'm not strong enough to oppose him by myself!"
"You are not by yourself. If you freed me, I would help you escape." he looked up at her again. "You still have that choice. Please, let me go. I can stop this."
"No." she turned away stubbornly.
"If he wins, he will transform everyone into his slaves! You can't escape that by becoming his slave now!"
"I am not his slave!" she hissed angrily.
"Oh? You're following his every order without pay or hope of escape. Sounds like you're a slave to me."
"I-" she started angrily, but stopped. She was silent for a few long moments before finally speaking. "You're right..." she was still for a few moments longer before nodding her head slowly. "Alright. I'll free you." After a few moments hesitation, Bansha bent down next to him and reached towards the black chains on his wrists.
"Bansha!" the two in the corner jumped at Wrayth's loud voice, and Bansha spun around as the older ghost floated towards them. "What are you doing?!" he demanded.
"Making sure his chains are tight." she lied smoothly. "I saw him messing around with them earlier."
"Hmph. Well, alright. Get over here, you need to be present while we talk about our latest plans."
"You don't get to order me around. I'm a Major." Bansha straightened up, folding her arms crossly.
"Well the General told me to come over and get you, so get. Over. There."
"Fine." Bansha followed the chain master reluctantly, giving Morro a helpless glance over her shoulder as she floated away. Morro sighed softly, silently wondering when he and Lloyd were supposed to trade. Would Bansha have another chance to free him? He was sure that by now Wrayth suspected her, and he would be sure to keep an eye on her from now on. If he wasn't already. Morro closed his eyes, praying silently that they would be able to pull this off. That the Overlord, somehow, would lose. Opening his eyes, Morro strained to hear what they were talking about. Maybe it would come in handy later.
"...can chain him to one of the posts in my dungeon." Chen was saying.
"Why do you have poles in your dungeon?" Soul Archer asked.
"I used to chain prisoners I wanted to get rid of there, then Clouse's pet snake would eat them." Morro shuddered at that. That was a nasty way to die.
"I hope the snake isn't there anymore." Bansha spoke up.
"Nah. The ninja killed it."
"Pity." The Overlord shook his head. "I thought it might have made a valuble ***et. When are you going to reply to Lloyd's email?"
"Once we know exactly where we're going to put him." there was a pause as Chen gestured towards him. "Then we'll tell him – Lloyd, I mean, - to come to my island, to the dungeons, alone. If we see anyone else with him, we'll infect Morro on the spot."
"And then when he comes, we'll trap him and infect them both, correct?" the Overlord continued.
"Yes." Morro clenched his teeth angrily at Chen's casual reply, staring down at the ground. The coward! How dare he?! His inner rant was cut off when the door to the warehouse opened and Ghoultar entered the enormous room.
"Ghoultar has found it." the grey ghost bellowed as he floated towards the Overlord. Morro looked up at him as he p***ed, trying to see what he held. But it was too small to see, apparently.
"Good." the Overlord rasped triumphantly, gesturing to the table in front of him. "Put it here." Ghoultar set the object down on the surface with a soft clunk and backed away, finally allowing Morro to get a good look at it. But, even as he did, he was confused, for the only thing on that table was a shiny, golden, teapot.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows what that means. Unless someone hasn't seen Season 6. Has that aired yet?
Me: Kay, time to do questions and stuff.
Dark Lloyd: Yay.
Me: You're worse than Kai. I'm turning you back.
Lloyd: Hey! What just happened?!
Me: It's complicated and not my fault. Anyway, today's first question is from Rosalinawysteria92. That is really hard to type. Anyway, for Morro, "what is your deepest, darkest secret?"
Morro: I absolutely refuse to answer that.
Me: You have to.
Morro: IT'S CALLED A SECRET FOR A REASON!
Me: So? You still have to.
Morro: NO.
Me: Well you're not allowed to talk until you do. Have fu with that!
Morro: !
Me: The next question, still from the Rosalina and for Jay, "Do you like pie?"
Jay: Yeah! I love pie! Who doesn't?
Me: My brother.
Jay: Uh.
Me: Next question is from Samantha, for Lloyd. "Do you own a battle axe? And if so, can I borrow it? I need it for my "meeting" with the OVERLORD. ;-) ;-)"
Lloyd: I don't, sorry. But Jessica has one.
Jessica: Hoi!
Me: Kay. So, a "question" from Lilly, for everyone but Kai. "the first one to kick kai between the legs get $100 i hate u kai." If KRR kills you, don't blame me.
Morro: ...
Me: Anyone?
Dark Kai: Ha! Too scared to face my wra- OWWWWWWWW!
Bansha: No. Shut up.
Me: And the prize goes to Bansha! Speaking of which, there's a question for you. Unless there's someone here named Banana.
Bansha: Huh?
Me: "I have a question for Banana."
Bansha: ...okay. Who is it from and what is it?
Me: Sweetfierce, "Why do you have soft spot for Morro?" and another, "are you jealous of Indigo?"
Bansha: ...because we became friends when he lost his memory.
Me: If you haven't read Forgotten, you should now.
Bansha: And I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH MORRO! WHY IS EVERYONE SO DETERMINED TO SHIP US?!
Lloyd: Bansha, stop yelling at the reviewers...
Bansha: DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
Me: The last question is for Morro, from Sweetfierce. Bansha, could you leave the room for a minute?
Bansha: ...fine.
Me: It's, "Do you have feelings for Bansha?"
Morro: ...
Me: Oh right, the silence thingy. Ready to tell everyone your greatest secret yet?
Morro: NO. But to answer the question, yes, I do have feelings for her, but not romantic ones.
Me: *applauds* Good answer.
Morro: ...
Me: Kay, so, since we're done, I just have one more thing to say. In case anyone cares, I am on Tumblr, under the same username. If you like, you could come over and watch me reblog random Ninjago/Miraculous Ladybug/Star Wars/Terraria stuff and occasionally rek some trolls who have nothing better to do than to try to ruin my life. ^ ^ Also, here's an amusing fanfiction in which Morro is an idiot and Indigo makes a guest appearence. s/11887244/1/Diamond-s-dare-show-ninjago Have fun with that. See you around~
