Logically, if I really want review replies to be shorter, I should just reply in PM to actual accounts... meh, maybe I'll start doing that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Review replies:
The Mayor of Ninjago City: Thanks! If he fooled all of you, makes sense that he fooled Lloyd.
KRR: Aw, I'm sorry, Kai. We all love you. *hugs*
WFOFA: BAD NADAKHAN
Sweetfierce: Well, that person writes every character x every other character, so I'm not surprised... I'd suggest starting at the beginning of Season 5, just because that one's my favorite. Or at the beginning of Season 1 or 2. And yes, I'm sure Nadakhan would LOVE to feed some dragons. :D
LabRatFlutieKat: Weeeeeell, that might not be EXACTLY what happens... heheh... And I don't think you have, but, if you do, please make them evil. I have too many good OCs and I don't know what to do with them all ;_;
Nurse Medusa: Yessiry
1234: Well, if you go back to Chapter 12, you'll see that the bad guys acquired the Teapot of Tyrahn right at the end. That's where he showed up. And he isn't helping the Overlord because he likes him. xD
Beanzibo: Haha, yeah, I know how that feels. xD I hope you've enjoyed my stories so far! :D
Samantha: A senior what? I think that's something to do with school, but I'm homeschooled so I'm not sure... ^ ^'
The Pink Ninja: You were close. You missed an "h". xD Good like with Sammy!
BTW everyone, thanks for all the luck. I won 1st place in the costume contest. :D
And now, the question you've all been asking: DID LLOYD GET KIDNAPPED AGAIN?
Chapter 28
I wish..." Lloyd hesitated. He wanted to word this exactly right. "I wish that I was back up in the temple - the Temple of Light -, and that you would stay here, and that you wouldn't twist my words at all." Nadakhan was silent for a few moments before scowling. That was a good sign.
"Your wish... is my command." With that, Lloyd found himself back in the Temple of Light, and was surprised to see everyone else awake and looking rather panicked. As soon as they saw him, though, their expressions changed to surprise and relief.
"Lloyd!" Someone hugged him from behind, and he looked over his shoulder to see Jessica hugging him around the waist, since she was too short to hug him normally. "You're okay! We woke up and you weren't here and we were all really worried... um, I mean..." she quickly pulled away, blushing. Lloyd blushed too.
"Yeah, what happened to you?" Kai asked, walking over. "And how'd you just appear out of nowhere like that?"
"Nadakhan tricked me into leaving. He forced me to make a wish."
"What?!" Jay demanded. "How did he force you to wish? More importantly, how did he trick you into leaving? I thought he wouldn't come in here unless you were alone!"
"He can shapeshift. He took Morro's form and lured me out by saying that he needed to show me something that could help beat the Overlord. But then he stepped in some water and it didn't affect him, so..." Lloyd shook his head. "I can't believe I fell for that."
"He must be a good actor." Kai mused. "You know Morro really well."
"Yeah, well, Morro probably taught him." the blond boy shook his head bitterly.
"He's a jerk." Indigo muttered venomously. "Tricking you by pretending to be your friend. I mean, how low can you get?"
"Not much lower than that." Lloyd agreed.
"We still have a few hours of darkness left." Zane spoke up. "We should get some more sleep."
"We can try, at least. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep after what he did." the green ninja shook his head.
"Yeah, um, you never told us how he forced you to wish." Cole folded his arms. "Do you mean he actually forced you, or did he just persuade you with promises of glory?"
"He held me over a pit of lava and threatened to drop me in." Lloyd deadpanned. "The only way I managed to escape was wishing myself back here."
"Oh. Sorry." the ghost ninja apologized.
"It's okay." Lloyd stared at the floor.
"That's rough." Kai put a hand on his shoulder. "You feeling okay?"
"Yeah. I'm a little shaken, but otherwise fine." the blond boy nodded. "I should probably try to sleep."
"Yeah. C'mon." Kai led him over to his bedroll, then pulled his own over next to it. As Lloyd lay down, Jay, Cole, and Zane pulled their bedrolls over too, so he was surrounded by the other ninja. He smiled as Kai ruffled his hair, resting his head on his arms. Before long, he was fast asleep again.
ReturnOfTheOverlord
"Lloyd? Wake up." Lloyd woke up to Kai kneeling next to him, shaking him gently. "You slept late."
"Hmm... what time is it?" Lloyd sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. ES is a skrub k thx
"About 10:30. We all got up a while ago, but you didn't so we decided to let you sleep."
"Oh." the blond boy sat up slowly, stretching his arms above his head. "Are we leaving now?"
"Pretty soon. You should get ready."
"Okay." Lloyd glanced around the room as his eyes adjusted to the light. The others were packing their stuff, chatting, or, in Jessica's case, staring at him ominously. Wait, what? Had she been watching him sleep? That made him remember what she said a while ago, when they had just escaped Mt. Vetruvious after rescuing his father. "You look cute when you're asleep". How had he answered that? He probably said something dumb and embarrassed himself. He felt his face heating up at the thought.
"Psst, Lloyd. Are you in love?" the blond boy jumped at Jay's voice, and turned to see the blue ninja standing behind him with a grin on his face.
"Wh- no. Why would you even ask that?" Lloyd quickly shook his head.
"Because you're looking at a girl and blushing." Jay pointed at Jessica and Lloyd quickly pushed his hand down.
"Don't point at her!" the blond boy hissed.
"So you ARE in love with her." the redhead grinned wider.
"O-okay, I am. But don't tell her." Lloyd pleaded. "I don't know if she likes me back."
"Then ask her!"
"That's too awkward! I'd be really embarrassed if it turns out she doesn't!"
"Then I'll ask her."
"Jay! No!" the blond boy grabbed his friend's arm as he tried to walk away. "C'mon, please! I need some time to think about it first." Lloyd stared at the blue ninja pleadingly until Jay sighed and nodded.
"Okay, fine. But I expect to see you taking some action soon." the redhead ruffled his hair before walking away towards the other ninja, and Lloyd sighed in relief. He really wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. He would have to ask her about it sooner or later. Just... not right now. He needed some more time to think.
ReturnOfTheOverlord
"They haven't come out..." Morro mused, watching the entrance of the Temple of Light through a pair of binoculars.
"Well, maybe they did and you missed them. Gimme those." Victoria Black tried to snatch the instrument away, but Morro lifted them out of her reach.
"There's at least eight of them. Do you think I would miss such a large party? Riding on glowing dragons, no less."
"Well you could've." Victoria folded her arms. "Let me have a turn."
"No."
"Why not?"
"You don't need them."
"You don't need them any more than I do!"
"The Overlord says not to give them to you."
"No he doesn't!" she paused. "Does he?"
"Yes."
"Fine." Victoria was silent for a few moments before asking, "Why are you always such a grumpy ghostie?"
"Don't call me that." Morro muttered.
"See? Grumpy!"
"Shut up."
"No you."
"Ugh!" Morro lowered the binoculars to glare at her. "Why are you so annoying?!"
"It's a gift." the blond girl shrugged. The ghost rolled his eyes before lifting the binoculars to his eyes again.
"I see them.' he announced suddenly. Quickly, Victoria looked down at the temple to see a bunch of small figures walking out of the temple. "Come on. We need to prepare our ambush." Morro ordered, summoning his elemental dragon. Victoria did the same and they flew off towards the coast.
Morro may or may not have been lying about the Overlord telling him not to give Victoria the binoculars.
~FFF
P.S. There's actually another costume contest tonight and this time I'm dressing up as MORRO so wish me luck again! :DDDDDD
