With Lloyd
Lloyd grinned as he watched as his old classmates and their substitute teachers were tied up, almost begging for him to let them go. "What's that sirs? I can't hear you!" Lloyd stated to the 2 skeletons who tried to speak through their gags, before he laughed and walked out of the room with Pythor. "We should booby trap this place, before the ninjas get here!" Lloyd stated to Pythor, who smiled down at him. "Very wissse Lloyd." Pythor stated before he slithered away from Lloyd, who looked out a nearby window. "Huh...I wonder...If dad was telling the truth about my sister...Then where is she?" Lloyd asked to the horizon, the questions about his sister have been growing more and more since the dream he had. The song always replaying in his head.
"...Does she know where I am?" Lloyd asked to the horizon again, he didn't really expect a answer...He just wanted to talk to somebody or something. "Issss sssomething wrong Lloyd?" Lloyd jumped at the new voice, before turning around and breathing a sigh of relief. It was only Pythor. "Oh, nothings wrong Pythor...Just...Thinking..." Lloyd stated as he stood straight up, Pythor smiled down at him. "Ssssometimesss it'sss besst to talk to ssssomeone about your troublessss." Pythor stated as he sat down, Lloyd followed his actions after a second.
"Well...My dad, before he left me, once told me that somewhere in this world...I have a sister, a older one!...I-I just don't know weither to beleive him or not..." Lloyd stated after a long breath, he turned to Pythor who was smiling lightly down at him. "Your father mussssst have had a ressssson to tell you thisssss peice of information." Pythor stated before brushing his hands and standing up. "Well, better ssssset up those trapsssss before the ninjasssss get here!" Pythor stated before slithering away, Lloyd stood up after a minute of silence.
Lloyd was thinking about Pythor's words, how they seemed to be so natural yet...So...Oh what's the word...Demonic..? Lloyd shook his head, he had work to do! So taking in a deep breath Lloyd set to work making the traps.
With the Ninjas
Grace watched as the boys, Nya, Bunny, and Kim-Ly gathered around the beeping computer in the bridge. "Break it down for me sis!" Kai stated, Nya nodded to him. "Lloyd and his serpentine have overtaken Darkley's Boarding School for Bad boys." Nya stated, Grace tensed up at Lloyd's name. "That place is a cesspool for the crooked and the misbehaved!" Jay stated, Cole then stepped up. "Doesn't mean they don't need out help! Step on it!" Cole stated before Zane pressed the emergency defence system's button and the ship took flight. "Ninjaaaaagooo!" the ninjas yelled all together as the ship zoomed away from the sea.
Over the Boarding School
"Okay, let's go get ready." Cole stated before he and the ninjas ran out the door, yet Sensei held Bunny, Kim-Ly, and Grace back. "Is somethinr wrong Sensei?" Bunny asked quietly, both Grace and Kim-Ly looked a bit angered at how they were being held back. "I am sorry girls, but you must stay." Sensei Wu stated, all 3 girls looked at each other before back at him. "B-But Sensei! W-We have to help!" Kim-Ly stated, trying her best to control her anger at the moment. "Please Uncle let us-" Grace was cut off when her Uncle held up his hand.
"You 3 shall stay, no questions." Sensei Wu stated to the 3 girls, who all sighed and nodded their heads. Sensei Wu looked pleased at this. Yet Grace quickly slipped away and saw the boys talking on the deck, she made sure they didn't see her. "Looks quiet down there, shall we infeltrate using stelth?" Zane asked as he looked at the school from over the railing, Kai shook his head to the suggestion. "Ugh, we've done that! What about using our golden weapons that turn into vehicals?" Kai asked, both boys turned to Cole who was working on his ride. "I'm still working out the kinks on that. Anyone have any other good ideas?" Cole asked, and Grace couldn't help but smirk when she saw Jay walk forward.
"Hmm, well...I have one idea. But you guy's gotta trust me." Jay stated, all 3 boys and Grace looked worried. "Ugh, I don't think I like the sound of this." Kai stated in a sorrowful and worried tone. Neither do I Kai, neither do I. Grace thought before she ran off somewhere, she needed to get some supplies.
Few Minutes Later
Grace watched as the boys all boarded onto the anchor of the ship, all of them looked slightly worried besides Jay. "Jay..? I-I don't know about this!" Kai stated as the 4 boys looked down at the school. "Just hold on tight!" Jay stated before turning a bit and motioning for Nya to drop the anchor. Seconds later Grace watched as the anchor flew down to the school. She flinched though as the school's floors broke under the pressure of the anchor before standing up straight and pulling her Ninja hood on. Swiftly she checked her bow, arrow, and the thick dark red cloth in her hands. "Grace! What are you doing!" Grace heard Sensei Wu yell at her from the bridge, she only turned around and nodded to him before wrapping the cloth around the anchor's chain and waving to the others in the Bridge.
"Grace! Hold on!" Bunny and Kim-Ly stated as they raced over to her, yet Grace shook her head. "You guys don't have enough training, so you are actually staying!" Grace stated before taking out 8 arrows and placing them into the bow, Bunny and Kim-Ly took a step back. "Wh-What are you gonna do?" Bunny asked Grace, who stared at the 2 girls in front of her. "Making sure you guys stay safe." Grace stated before unleashing the arrows, which them embedded the girl's clothing (2 holding their shoulders and 2 holding their legs) to the deck. "Later!" Grace stated before taking the cloth and tying a part of it around her waist before playing her hands on the chair.
"I hope this works!" Grace yelled before jumping off the ship, her hands skimming the chains lightly before she tightly gripped them as she reached the roof of the building. "They're coming! They're coming!" Grace heard Lloyd yell, yet she couldn't see where she was as she shielded her eyes from the blazing winds that smacked her face. Quickly Grace cut the cloth before jumping off the chain and turned around...Only to stop dead in her tracks...In front of her right now, was Lloyd...And only Lloyd...Where are the serpentine? Grace thought as she used her perifial vision, her question was answered though when she heard Cole yell about a serpentine. "S-Stay back! I-I know how to fight!" Lloyd stated as he tried to look tough, yet his shaking was really not helping. Grace saw that due to his shaking a peice of rolled up paper in his back pocket started to come out more.
"Lloyd...I-" Grace was cut off when a large dark purple snake appeared on the roof through a small door, he stared at her. "Ohhhh, another ninja hmmm?" the dark purple snake stated as he climbed out of the door and placed a large peice of wood on top of it. "Now, why don't you be a good ninja...And leave!" the snake yelled before using another piece of wood and using it as a club to try and hit Grace, who wasn't really paying attention. Yet Grace still held her ground by using her bow as a defensive weapon, blocking the snake's attacks with a steady pace before she suddenly found herself at the edge of the hole that the anchor caused. "I'm dreadfully ssssssory m'dear. But I do believe, that you have overssssstay your welcome." the snake stated before shoving Grace back with the make-shift club, causing her to fall down the hole.
"Grace!" Grace heard someone yell before suddenly feeling a hand grasping hers, she flinched as she felt a long strain on her left hand. Sprained probably Grace thought as she tried to look up. "Don't let go!" the voice yelled, Grace now recognized it. "P-Pull me up Cole!" Grace yelled as she looked up at Cole, who used both of his hands to pull her up. Grace then soon found COle hugging her. "A-Are you okay?" Cole asked Grace, who gently held her wrist. "I'm fine, but my left wrist hurts a bit." Grace stated, Cole pulled apart quickly before taking her left hand in his hands and looked it over. "It doesn't look so bad, only slightly sprained." Cole stated, before he looked up at Grace. "Why did you follow us? I thought Sensei told you, Bunny, and Kim-Ly to stay behind." Cole stated, he wasn't completely mad...Only slightly...
"I...I needed to help you guys." Grace stated, Cole stared at her. "What do you mean you 'needed' to help us? You almost got hurt!" Cole yelled, Grace looked up at him. "I needed to, for myself." Grace stated, Cole looked like he was about to yell again. "IF I CAN'T FIGHT MY BROTHER WHO I JUST MET AFTER A 9 YEAR PERIOD HOW DO YOU THINK I WILL TAKE FIGHTING MY DAD!" Grace yelled with all her might, after gasping for a few breaths she looked up at Cole...She couldn't read his face...It was a mixture of sadness, confusion, and slightly understanding.
...
...
"I...I didn't realise that you-" Cole was cut off when Kai and Zane came into the room. "Come on! Let's go you 2 love-birds!" Kai yelled before running to the chain, both Cole and Grace glanced at each other before the 4 ninjas climbed up the chain.
Roof
When the 4 ninjas got to the roof they saw a slightly depressed Lloyd, a mad Sensei Wu, the bounty, and Jay. "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, you come here right now!" Sensei Wu stated, Jay walked over to Lloyd. "I got him!" Jay stated as he carried Lloyd over his shoulder and walked him over to Sensei Wu. "Wha-HEY! LET ME GO!" Lloyd yelled as he struggled in Jay's grasp. "What should we do with him? Wash out his mouth with soup?..For a year!" Cole asked, Kai and Zane both looked excited while Grace glared at him. "Ground him indefinitely!" Kai stated, another glare. "Have him sit in a corner for a century?" Zane asked, that was it! Grace got out her bow and then proceeded to whack each of the 3 boys who "offered" punishments. "Ow!(Cole)" "Hey!(Zane)" "OUCH!(Kai)" the 3 boys yelled as they rubbed their heads.
"I know exactly what we must do.." Sensei Wu stated, Lloyd gulped. "But first, a small family reunion should be made. After disobeying my orders." Sensei Wu stated before he turned to Grace, who quietly gulped. "Gracialda Angelica Garmadon get over here!" Sensei Wu yelled, most of them thought it was even louder then when he yelled at Lloyd. "Gracialda?" Kai snickered at the name, Grace glared at him. "Yes, Gracialda. As in the same Gracialda who kicked yo butt and still can!" Grace yelled, that instantly shut Kai up. Satisfied that the message got through Grace pulled down her hood and walked over to her Uncle and Lloyd, who had been placed next to him bay Jay.
"Lloyd, I'd like you to meet Grace Garmadon. Your older sister." Sensei Wu stated to Lloyd, who stared at Grace. "Y-You mean...You were my sister all along..?" Lloyd asked, honest surprise in his voice. "Y-Yeah..." Grace stated in a weak voice, before she dropped down to her knees and hugged Lloyd. "I-I missed ya Lloyd." Grace whispered as tears slowly went down her cheeks, and she could have jumped for joy when she felt Lloyd hug her back.
...
...
"I-I don't even know what to say right now..!" Lloyd stated happily as he and Grace separated from each other, Sensei Wu placed a hand on both of their shoulders. "I'd say, that you both have a lot to catch up on." Sensei Wu stated as his niece and nephew both smiled at each other. "Now...As for what to do with Lloyd..." Sensei Wu stated, Lloyd gulped again.
At Night
"-and that is why, Jack the rabbit never trusts a snake." Grace stated as she and Sensei Wu sat by Lloyd's bedside. "The end." Sensei Wu ended, Lloyd smiled at both his sister and Uncle. "If dad had read me that book, I would have never had made that mistake...I'm sorry Uncle, Grace." Lloyd stated after a few seconds of silence, both Grace and Sensei Wu smiled at each other. The boy ninjas watched from the door frame, obviously shocked at "what was happening" to Lloyd.
"Ya don't need to apologize Lloyd." Grace stated, Sensei Wu nodded his head. "You do not need to apologize, I am sure if your father was still here it would be the first book he'd read. Goodnight Nephew, sweet dreams." Sensei Wu stated as he petted Lloyd's hair, Lloyd smiled up at him and Grace. "Goodnight Uncle, goodnight Grace." Lloyd stated, Grace smiled down at him before kissing his forehead before getting up and following Sensei Wu out the door. "Um...Grace..?" Lloyd asked, just catching Grace's attention as she stopped in the doorway before turning towards him.
"C-Can you sleep with me tonight?" Lloyd asked, Grace blinked before looking at Sensei Wu, who nodded his head in approval. "Sure Lloyd, I'll be right back. Just have to go get a blanket and pillow." Grace told Lloyd before she ran through the hallways, making sure his slightly sprained wrist didn't touch anything or jostle around to much. Yet she tip-toed past the other girl's rooms, since they were already asleep.
With the Ninja
"I don't get it Sensei." Kai started out for the group as the boys surrounded Sensei Wu on the deck. "Why isn't the little brat getting punished!" Jay asked, trying his best to control his anger. "Yeah! We had to train all day and he gets read a bed time story? It's not fair." Cole stated, and at this Sensei Wu turned around. "Hmmm, your right! I nearly forgot...Why are you not still training? Did you find the answer to the riddle?" Sensei Wu asked, all 4 boys sulked at the question. "*sigh* No Sensei, we still don't know the best way to defeat your enemy is." Kai stated as he and the other boys started to turn to walk away.
"It is, to make them your friend." Senesi Wu stated, all 4 boys turned to him. "oooooohhhh." the 4 boys chorused before they quickly checked up on Lloyd and Grace, who was just getting into bed with him. "Grace? Could you...Could you sing me a lullaby..?" Lloyd asked, Grace couldn't help but smile down at her baby brother. "Anything for you." Grace whispered before kissing Lloyd's forehead and taking a deep breath. The boys all waited by the door way to listen to her singing aswell.
Hush, my baby, don't cry a peep. (Grace runs her hand through Lloyd's hair, he yawns at the action)
The moon's in the sky, let's count the sheeps.
One, two, three, four, (the ninjas outside the doorway sit down and their eyes start to droop)
I said hush, shush, shh, snore.
Don't wah, laugh, cry or roar.
One, two, three, four, (Grace watched as Lloyd's eyes started to close, a smile on her face again)
I said hush, shush, shh, snore.
One, two, three, four,
Sleep tight, not a sound 'til morn...
The boys outside the door, much like Lloyd, were fast asleep when Grace got done singing. "Goodnight Lloyd, sweet dreams." Grace whispered to Lloyd before she also fell asleep.
Next Morning
Grace woke up a bit early today and looked to see Lloyd sleeping soundly next to her. Quietly Grace got out of bed and walked into the hallway, where she saw the boys.
...
...
...
"Oh, this is gonna be good." Grace told herself as she pulled a pack of markers that were always in her pocket, she grinned evily as she took some markers out and began to draw.
