Hey guys, later in the chapter I'm using Brigit Mendler lyrics and songs but in my story, I'm going to make its Melanie's. Hope that's alright.
And I Know I haven't updated for quite a while… I think but anyway, reason is because this chapter is very long, like 6200 words. Hope you guys enjoy! ;)
Chapter 35
Old Owners
(Melanie's POV)
It was finally night time, and I climbed in bed first. I pulled the covers over and placed my hands over my stomach even though there's nothing there. I smiled. Maybe being pregnant is alright but at the age of 17? I can't blame Zane… I mean I allowed it… right? I closed my eyes and thought about it. Would it be a girl or boy? Twins? I hope not. Will he or she look more of Zane or Me? My old self with brown hair or new self with blonde hair? I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't even notice Zane climbing into bed with me.
"Hey," I whispered and rolled on my back and turned my face to face him.
"How are you feeling?"
"Better than before and a bit tired," It was hard to fit both of us on a single sized bed. "It's a bit small isn't it?"
"It's fine," he said. I rolled over so my back faced him and he pulled me closer to his body and his arms wrapped around me protectively… Well around my stomach. Right now, the lights were out and we could here everyone snoring quietly.
"Do you think it would be twin?" I asked.
"Nah, I hope she or he looks more like you,"
"I hope he or she look more like you Zane," I giggled and he rested his chin on my head.
"Come on, let's get some sleep and when you're showing, then we can talk about it," Zane said. I nodded and readjust myself before falling asleep.

Garmadon smiled as all of the serpentine but the leaders followed him.
"Now I'll give you, the Black Bounty!" he announced and held the 4 weapons up in front of the wrecked Bounty. The 4 golden weapons shook and shine gold and a trail of gold left from the weapons and surrounded the ship wreck. Soon it started to float and mend itself.
The serpentine minus the generals and Garmadon hopped aboard and took off and headed for the Golden peaks

Now it's was 6:30 in the morning and everyone was up and eating breakfast that Melanie made with help from Zane.
"When do you guys think Sensei will come back?" Jay asked.
"I don't know… Hopefully he'll be back before sunset," Cole said and leaned back in his chair.
"I'm done!" Lloyd exclaimed and got up from his seat and ran outside.
"Same," Lily said and ran out after Lloyd.
"Those two must love the beach," Nya laughed. Everyone looked out of the window to see Lloyd and Lily splashing each other with water and then falling in.
"Yeah… they're so cute together," Melanie sighed and rested her head on Zane's shoulder.
"You tried?" Zane asked and she nodded.
"And I'm feeling a little sick,"
"Anyway… Lloyd had mastered so far Ice and lighting, he still needs more training on his other elemental powers… Who should teach him today?" Kai asked.
"Water!" they heard Lloyd shouted from outside.
"Wow, he can hear from that far?" Nya questioned with a shock facial expressions on her face. Then everyone burst out laughing.
"Kids can be soooo funny," Cole laughed. Everyone laughed harder when Jay fell back in his chair.
"Oh My Gosh Jay!" Nya laughed and helped him up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Nya!" Kai yelled making the others laugh harder while Nya and Jay were blushing. Cole was banging his hand on the table and his head as well while Mel and Zane laughed with tears in their eyes. As things quiet down, Melanie got up.
"I'm going to teach Lloyd then," she giggled and kissed Zane on the cheek. "Love ya,"
"Back at you," Zane said and kissed her back. Mel walked back outside and saw Lloyd and Lilybell drenched in water. They didn't see her so she waited to see what happened next. Lloyd and Bell were sitting next to each other in the water. They starred into each other eyes. She knew something was going to happen. Something big.
"Someone grab a camera or something, Quick! In the kitchen draw!" Melanie yelled in a whispered as she was right next to the window. Jay got up and got it and they all knew something going to spark between the 12 year olds.
Lloyd's POV
I gazed into her deep meadow green eyes. Everything around me seemed to freeze but us two. I watched as her eyes looked into mine. I grabbed her hand underneath the water. Her touch was so soft and smooth. I felt her grip tighten. My body seemed to move by itself. My hand moved to her cheek and she held her hand over my mine and closed her eyes. The gap between our face was closing in. I felt her strawberry scented breath on my face.
I watched as her lips tighten and I closed my eyes and let the mood take us to the next step. I leaned in and I felt her soft lips against mines. The taste was sweet like a strawberry… like her. I felt her hand moved over to my cheek as she pushed a little bit deeper.
"Lloyd and Lilybell sitting in the sea! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I heard Jay sang out and laughed as the others cheered. I felt her lips left mine. I already missed her lips. Our faces moved to turn them. Oh geez I'm embarrassed. I can feel my cheeks and face burning up.
Oh no… he got a camera. They got that on tape.
"I'm HOME!" I heard Uncle yelled out.
"Jay, don't," I hissed.
"Too late," Jay laughed and he ran off.
"JAY!" I called after and I left Lily in the water and I ran to Jay. I saw Uncle Wu's face changed as he saw me chasing Jay. I can tell that he can tell that this isn't going to be good.
"Jay? Lloyd? What's going on?" I heard him asked. Jay was right in front of him right now. I concentrated and shot ice out of my hands and knocked the camera out of Jay's hand. I smiled.
"Oh boy I love decoys!" jay exclaimed and took his phone out of his pocket. Oh S***
No POV
Sensei took Jay's phone and clicked the play button and watched the whole tape. He was mad.
"Lloyd," he said firmly. Lloyd gulped while Jay snickered. "What were you thinking?! You're only 12! You are the green ninja and he has a responsibility and he can't get distracted by things like this!" Sensei boomed. The others rushed to see what's going on.
"But Uncle! It just happened…" Lloyd muttered but then he smiled.
"Sensei Wu, you just got here, why don't you relax first?" Melanie asked as she got a warm cup of tea for Sensei.
"Ok," he muttered and walked into the house.
"Got your back bud," Mel winked to him. Mel and Lloyd rejoined with the others. Lloyd glared at Jay the whole time.
"Oh no, Sensei doesn't know you're pregnant… he's going to get madder at you than Lloyd," Nya gasped.
"Oh dear," Mel whispered and Zane wrapped his arms around her. "How are we going to tell Sensei about this?"
"I don't know Mel…" Zane sighed and rock side to side.
"Why don't you guys just tell him once she shows?"
"Tell me what?" They all jumped as Sensei was behind them.
"Sensei!"
"What's going on around here?" Wu demanded. Mel gulped as Zane opened his mouth.
"Mel's…. Mel's… Pregnant!" he blurted out. Oh snap, they crossed the line.
"WHAT?!"
MmzZ
It was night time and Zane lay next to Mel.
"Please remind me to never get on Sensei's bad side. Geez he was soooo scary," Melanie sighed and snuggled her head into his chest and he held her.
"Sure…" he sighed but moved his back once he felt uncomfortable.
"Don't move," Melanie mumbled but he ignored and got up from the bed. "What's wrong?"
"There's something underneath the mattress," Mel sleepily got up from the bed and Zane lifted it up and to see a notebook. "Oh, what's this?" Zane asked and lifted the book.
"Oh shoot!" Melanie said and went to snatch it but Zane pulled it back. He opened it to see words but he couldn't read it due to the darkness. "Zane, give that back to me," Melanie whispered not wanting to wake anybody else. Zane ran outside with the book to use the moonlight. Melanie ran outside but it was too late, he already read it.
"Melanie," he started.
"Zane, I know they're bad but-"
"Melanie! These are good!" Zane exclaimed as he read the lyrics that Melanie wrote. At last, Melanie snatched the book back.
"You really think so?" she asked. He nodded.
"Come on, let's get back to bed," and they walked back and Mel placed the book back on the bed side table.
"So how was work?" Melanie whispered.
"Pretty good," he replied. He wanted to say more but he already found Melanie asleep. "That's quick," he thought to himself and fell asleep.
MmzZ
It was the next day and it greeted Melanie with morning sickness but later on, everyone left for work but Mel, Lloyd, Bell and Wu but he meditated.
Melanie sat underneath the palm tree and read her lyrics notebook while watching the kids.
"Mel! What are you reading?" she heard Lloyd yelled as the two came running up to her dripping with water.
"Just something I did when I was little," she replied.
"What is it?" bell asked as the two sat down.
"Just some lyrics I wrote," she sighed.
"Can we see?" Lloyd asked. Mel nodded and let the 2 youngsters read them. She watched as their face expressions changed.
"These are good!" Lily exclaimed. "Can you sing one for us?"
"I don't know…"
"Please!" Lloyd begged. It took a while before Mel answered.
"Get me my guitar, it should be near the bookshelf," Mel replied. Lily nodded and sprinted into the house and Lloyd handed the book back.
Lily then came out with an acoustic guitar and she handed it to Mel.
"Ok, you guys pick a song while I tune the guitar," Mel said and started tuning while the two decided on a song to choose. "Ok, what you guys choose?"
"City Lights,"
"Postcard,"
The two looked at each other.
"I thought you said City Lights," Bell whispered but Lloyd shrugged his shoulders.
"Guys, it's alright, I'll do both," Mel giggled and strummed the guitar with her thumb. She start playing City Lights first.
"It's a long road and it get's windy Oohh tell me where to go Everytime that you think you've lost your shine
Fog is real low and it's so blinding
Oh I'm tryna steer, tryna take the lead
But I feel like the road is steering me
Getting so lost, like a cast away
Feeling so crossed, like a renegade
And I'm tryna call out in the big city
Just a small voice and no ones listening to me
Tell me that you know
Just how bright I glow
Just remember nothings brighter
You're the city lights
Everytime that you fade into the night

You're the city lights
That shine into the night, night, night, night, oh
Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh
Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh

"Oh I'm blending in and I'm sticking out Oohh tell me where to go Everytime that you think you've lost your shine Everybody knows The city lights! Oohh Everytime that you think you've lost your shine
Like a sore thumb that they don't know about
Wanna make peace, wanna just breathe
Wanna be the light that makes them all believe
I'm the race car, not the spectator
I'm the hero, not the narrator
Hercules, battling
Conquering everything, yeah
Tell me that you know
Just how bright I glow oh oh
Just remember nothings brighter (Oh No)
You're the city lights (You're the city lights)
Everytime that you fade into the night

Shine into the night, night, night, night, oh
Shine into the night, night, night, woah woahhhh,"
"What?" Mel asked.
"I've never heard you sang like that before," Lloyd muttered.
"Wait until you hear the other song," Mel sighed and started playing her guitar again.
"I wanna play with your race cars You don't think I can take it So what makes you think that And if he's into fashion They told him he couldn't take it So what makes you think that It says, "Remember what you said back then and if I listened to you What makes you think I'll send you a postcard soon..."
I'm not a Barbie doll, throw me a base ball
I wanna get on your team and get my hands a little dirty
I heard from a little birdy that
Or that I'm made for it
Or that I got it in my bones
It's boys only
No girls allowed
But there's no way
You can keep us out
You can't bring us down
If I feel it burning in my core then
I'll take that
Bright little spark
And I'll hold it
Tighter in my heart
Then all your little darts
If you say I'll never reach the moon
I'll send you a postcard soon...
Or if he likes ballet,
Doesn't get the time of day
'Cause he's built for the field but feels like his love is somewhere else
And no matter what he felt (they)
'Cause he's not made for it
He doesn't have it in his bones
It's girls only
No boys allowed
But there's no way
You can keep us out
You can't bring us down
If I feel it burning in my core then
I'll take that
Bright little spark
And I'll hold it
Tighter in my heart
Then all your little darts
If you say I'll never reach the moon
I'll send you a postcard soon...(Oh)
I will never be where I stand."
And I grew into these shoes that
I've takin' on the world and back again!
It's boys only
No girls allowed
But there's no way
You can keep us out
You can't bring us down
If I feel it burning in my core then
I'll take that
Bright little spark
And I'll hold it
Tighter in my heart
Then all your little darts
If you say I'll never reach the moon
I'll send you a postcard soon...
Soon
"You should play those two songs in front of the others," Lloyd said and he leaned back and laid on the sand.
"And those lyrics are soooo good," Lily complimented.
"Thanks guys," Melanie said and place the guitar by her side. "Now it's time for your training," but Lloyd pouted making the 2 girl laugh.
MmzZ
It was 3:20 and everyone was back home. Melanie, Nya and Lily were inside gossiping, Sensei Wu still meditating and the guys are teaching Lloyd some more fighting tips.
"And if you can't do so, just twist your body from your hips," Cole suggested and showed Lloyd. He tried but failed.
"Can we do something else?"
"No, come on Lloyd, you can do it" Kai cheered as he held his hand out. Lloyd swung his leg lazily. "Lloyd," The boy let out a loud sighed. He held his hand against his chest in fists and did tiny jumps. With his right leg, his roundhouse kick Kai's hand.
"Lloyd, you can go higher, twist your hips like Cole said," Jay instructed. Lloyd tried again but he lost his balance as soon as his leg left the ground, he used his arms and tried balance himself but he face planted into the sand. The boy spring up again with anger rushing through his body. With a powerful kick, he got it high and accidently knock Kai into the water.
"Good, again," Kai demanded. Lloyd sighed and did it again and again.
"Hey guys, look at that," Jay laughed as he saw a bunch so young kids, around Lloyd's age jogging on the beach with what seems to be their sensei behind them, panting and sweaty.
"Ok, stop!" he yelled and the kids sat on the ground. He must of seen the ninja so we went up to them.
"Sup, Name's Grand Sensei Dareths, owner of Grand Sensei Dareths Mojo Dojo," Dareths greeted.
"Yeah… right," Cole muttered. "But if you don't mind, please leave so we can train this little guy to become the greatest fighter in all of Ninjago,"
"Not possible for I am the greatest in the land and not a child can even defeat me. I am the master of all animal fighting skills.
"Listen, can you please leave? We are just the guys that save the city from-" Jay asked but then got cut off.
"I'm not stupid, Lord Garmadon saved the city from the great Devourer,"
"But you see, we're the one that saved the citizens and partly destroyed the great devourer," Zane stated.
"Fine, I'll leave on one condition, I dareth you to a battle,"
"Accept," Lloyd grinned and pulled his mask down. With his training, Lloyd went to roundhouse kick him and successfully knock the guy off his feet but he bounce right back up.
"Oh! Grand Sensei Dareth is having a battle!" They heard a kid yelled.
"Ninja go!" Lloyd next shouted and pulled spinjitzu.
"Whoa… how did you do that?"
"You maybe know animals but we know Spinjitzu so now, please go," Cole said. Dareth left as well as his students.
"Who was that?" Mel asked as she, Nya and bell came out of the house.
"Some guy claiming to be the best fighter in all of Ninjago but Lloyd beat him," kai said and smiled and patted Lloyd on the back.
"And just hope he doesn't show up again," Jay sighed.
"Yeah…" Cole muttered.
"Give me a moment," Mel said and dashed until the house.
"Wow… got to hate morning sickness," Lloyd muttered.
"Yeah but it's not even morning… it's like afternoon sickness but is that even possible?" Nya asked. They all shrugged.
"How far is she in?" Bell asked.
"I think she's in her 2nd week," Zane said unsurely. "I'll be back," and he left to check on Mel.
Next Day
Mel sat underneath a tree and strokes her thumb against the sting of her guitar and she smiled as she watched the two kids running around and splashing water at each other.
"I know exactly how you feel
It doesn't matter what you say," Mel started singing one of the songs in her notebook. Love will tell us where to go. It's one of her best work she had done.
"I see the sun being to set
And we gotta, gotta get away
I gotta patch of open road," she sang but stopped once she held Lily shrieking.
"Lloyd!" Melanie stopped and watched as Lloyd successfully got wet sand down the back of her swimsuit. Mel giggled and placed the guitar down and place her hands over her stomach. She was afraid how her father is going to react. She watched the kids again and a large shadow cast over them.
"That's the bounty!" She heard Lloyd shouted. She looked up and saw that it was.
"But it was destroyed," Mel said and got up.
Earlier that Day
Garmadon banged his fist angrily against the table and threw the mega weapon at the wall. He had just been at the Golden Peaks and transformed all four golden weapons into the one mega weapon. He tried to use it on a shark he found in the water but the weapon had no effect. Next he saw the Ninja's dragon and he tried to shoot it with the weapon but his crew couldn't keep the ship straight. Gosh does he hate the serpentine more than ever.
He slowly walked over to the weapon and picked it up. "Why don't you ever work you stupid weapon?" he yelled out in frustration and slam it down in the table breaking it in half. He looked at the wrecked wood and saw a book taped underneath the desk. "What's this?"
He read through it and realized this ship never belong to the Ninja… they weren't the first owners. It belonged to the most vicious pirate centuries ago… Captain Soto.
"I guess he knows how to steer this ship… and he had a crew," he frowned. "Although I wished Captain Soto and his crew was here…" and then the weapon shook. He finally realized. The four weapons elements are Fire, Ice, Lighting and Quakes. The Green ninja can control all elements and all of them together are known as Creation. The weapon can only create. Not destroy.
Back To Present
Mel's POV
"Lloyd, Lily, get back in the house and tell Sensei and call the others," I said and I stood up.
"What are you doing?" I heard bell asked.
"This has to be Garmadon doing. He stole the weapons of creation, he must of made the bounty back together," I informed.
"How do you know this?" Lloyd questioned.
"Scrolls," I replied. "Ninja Go!" I exclaimed and transformed into my ninja suit. I summoned Oceania and jumped onto and flew above the bounty. I saw the brig filled up with the serpentine and pirates on the decks… Pirates? I thought there were no longer pirates. I need to stop them but…
I looked down my stomach. I can't lose him… I just have this hunch that the baby's a boy. I took the risk and jumped from my dragon and I held onto the rope and I swung round the mask and landed on the decks grabbing each and every pirate's attention. I stood in a defensive stance and they draw their weapons… Idiot! I forgot my staff! Wait… that was destroyed with the bounty.
"What do we have here me mate?" I heard someone say in a very strong pirate accent.
"Pajama people?" I notice this is the captain. He has those huge pirate hat.
"What are you doing here? And where you get his ship?" I asked and I turned around. They were getting nearer.
"What ya mean? Tis is me ship!" He boomed. "I am Captain Soto! And I te owna of me ship!" I turned around. Their swords were a feet away from me. "Get her!" And they charged at me. I jumped onto the mask and climbed it but they were climbing too. I waved my hand and water from the ocean came at me. I transformed into ice and drop it onto the pirate.
"This is a magical Pajama masked girl," Captain Soto yelled.
"Hey stupid!" I shouted. He looked at me with a shock expression.
"What ye say?!"
"Stupid, ever heard a thing called a ninja?" And I leaped onto the decks doing flips and I landed to two feet but something went wrong. My foot went to the side and I landed it. I let out a yelp of pain and I squeezed my ankle. I looked back up to see the Captain's sword at my neck. I look back, forward and around. The pirates were getting up and coming towards me. I looked up at Soto with pleading eyes… Heck, Pirates won't let their prisoners go easily. I looked around again to see we're in Ninjago City.
Great… Now we're attracting attention and scaring the living day lights out of everyone… Hopefully it'll catch the guys attention. "Please… don't hurt me," I sighed. "I'll let you take me as prisoner if you don't kill me,"
"Hmm… why do ye think we let ye go easily?" I heard the captain asked. I felt his sword lowered and he circled around me. I sighed. That got me. I can't say I'll be a part of their team. "Oh weil… Lock her in te brig with those snakes!"
"No! Not with them! Somewhere else!" I begged. "The snakes and I don't get along! They'll kill me!"
"Not our concern!" Another pirate yelled and he pushed me towards the brig. I can feel my heart pounding against my chest very hard, beating faster and faster.
"I'll clean the ship! I'll do the cooking! I'll be the slave!" I tried again. Soto walked over and lowered his face so it was right in front of mines.
"Do te dirte work?" he asked. I nodded my head frantically. "Alrighty then!"
I looked around to see the pirates back up and another coming forward with a bucket and mop. The captain forcefully push me up and towards it. The pirates scattered. Great… I should of said entertainer… it would have been easier than this. Please come quick Zane.
All of a sudden, a man in a fake brown ninja suit jumped aboard. I looked over to him to see it was the same guy that was on the island about a day ago.
"You," I started. He looked and saw me.
"Hey, I know you. But you were in that little house," he said and turned his back to me. I shook my head. This guy have to be a joke.
"Surrender or else I'll take you down!" He threatened. "Yes, I am Grand Sensei Dareth best fighter in all of Ninjago!"
"But you got beaten by a kid," I said. The pirates look to me.
"Ye know tis pajama man?" Soto asked. I shook my head and laughed.
"When you say Pajama man, we say Ninja and I don't really know him," I said.
"So you think you can beat me?" Dareth questioned buffing up his chest.
"Oh please," I muttered.
"Alright, give us a show," I heard a pirate say and soon the all ship was yelling fight. No… I don't want to fight him. I can't afford to get kick and punched in the stomach. I limped over to Dareth, ignoring the pain in my left ankle but he held his hands up.
"Stop, let me get something clear, do not punch me or kick me in the stomach,"
"Why? Is that your weak spot?" He blew it. I raised my arm and punch him squared in the mouth sending him flying into the mask.
"Or else I'll do something worse than that!" I threaten. He stood up wobbly. He leaped from the ground and tried to kick me but he was 10 meters away from me and he can't even jumped a meter off the ground. Weak. He got up quickly and charge at me. I took a step to the side and he went into the rails. The pirates were cheering like crazy.
"Oh no, poor Dareth getting beaten to a pulp by a girl," I teased. He got up and threw a punch. I didn't expect that. I let it hit me in the arm. I wobbled but I kept my balanced. "You're weak," I spat at him. Suddenly, the ship made a sharp halt and I fell to the ground. I quickly got up but dareth punch me something I didn't expect him to…
"Oh… it's not your weak spot," he said nervously. I felt my eyes tear up and I placed my arms over my stomach and fell to the ground. "Or maybe it is,"
"Our slave been defeated?" I heard Soto asked.
"That's it!" I yelled and I got up and roundhouse kicked him then pulled off spinjitzu. I stopped and starred at him. He was struggling to get up. With one arm, I wrapped it around my stomach. Please be alright. Don't die.
"Melanie!" I turned around to see Zane. I ran over to hug him.
"More pajama people?" Soto yelled I looked back and Zane stood in front of me in a defensive stance. I next heard 3 thuds. I looked around to see Kai, jay and Cole. "Attack!"
"Mel, stay behind," I heard Zane said. I obeyed. 1 of the things I Love about Zane. He's protective, sweet kind, caring, cute and he accepted me for knowing he was a Nindroid and me as a Merpire. I watched as a swarm of pirates ran to him. I saw as he pulled out normal shuriken and threw it at them, not hurting them but sticking the pirates stuck in the mask or rails. The pirates around us were down. He turned me and hugged me.
"What happened? How did you get here? And why the bounty fix?"
"Garmadon, he transformed the wreck back together with the four weapons but I don't know about the pirates. I saw it go over the house and I knew I had to stop it," then I lost it. I started crying like mad.
"Shhh, what happened next?"
"Dareth came on board and the pirates made us fight and…" I stopped hugging him and looked into his icy blue eyes.
"Don't tell me that," I heard him sighed and pull me in close.
"I think… I don't know for certain," I looked back up to see tears in his eyes. "I know you were also looking forward to this baby but… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done anything so stupid,"
"Melanie… it's not your fault…"
"Zane! Melanie! Help!" We both heard Jay frantically cried. Zane and I turned around just to see Jay Nunchucks thrown out of his hands and into another pirate hands and sword were at his face.
"Hold on Jay!" I heard Zane yelled and he let go of me to save our team mate.
"Slave! Help!" I heard Soto shouted. I turned around to see Cole holding the blade of his scythe to Soto's face.
"Sorry Soto," I called back and I got some water, changed it boiling hot and I spilt it over Soto and some other pirates but of course… Water can't really hurt anyone. I looked around. Kai, Cole, Jay and Zane were fighting while Dareth was laying on the ground unconscious. I looked above to hear a scream of a 12 year old.
"Lloyd!" I shouted. I watched him as he landed on two pirates and jumped in front of me.
"Hi Melanie!" he exclaimed.
"You're nuts!" I shouted and I ran over to him and stood in front of him. As a pirate charged at us, I used my water element and pushed him into the brig. "What do you think you're doing?" I yelled and I turned to face him and look into his eyes.
"I'm sorry Mel… I- Are you crying?" I quickly wiped my tears.
"I'm fine but what happens if you get hurt?" I asked.
"I'll be fine," he said and he dashed away kicking each pirates butt.
"Lloyd!" I called after him. I ran onto the decks and jumped over some pirates in the process and jumped over to Lloyd who was facing off 3 pirates. "Ninja Go!" I exclaimed and kicked them all away. Slowly, Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Zane and I were circled and surrounded by pirates.
"Hold on guys!" We all turned our heads to see Jay next to a gumball machine and with a swing of his Nunchucks, he broke it sending little balls underneath our feet. Kai fell over as well as Cole, Lloyd and the pirates.
I felt the tiny balls underneath my feet. I tried to keep my balance and I leaned to the sides. I feel my feet slip and I placed my arms in front of my body to prevent a hard fall but Zane somehow slide underneath me and caught me in time.
"1 little fall can't kill me," I said and wiped the remaining tears.
"Yeah but it can kill someone else," then I realized what he was talking about.
"But… he might be already dead," I sighed and more tears poured. We were still sliding due to the balls underneath Zane's back and we crashed into the rails. I quickly got up and gave him a hand.
"As soon as this is over, I'm taking you to the doctors," he said. I nodded and agreed.
"Someone! Help!" I turned around to see Lloyd cornered.
"Mel, you get him out and I'll deal with the pirates,"
"But there's like… 9 of them and 1 of you,"
"I'll be fine,"
"Alright," and we ran towards Lloyd. Zane got their attention and I quickly grabbed Lloyd by the wrist and pulled him towards the mast.
"Get on my back," I demanded. I felt him climbed onto my back and I quickly climbed on the wooden pole and rested him where the mast and the sails intersect. "Stay here alright?" and he nodded but then the mast started to wobble. "Hold on!" I looked down to see the pirates using axes to cut down the mast… Where did they even get the axes? Then I felt my foot slip and I moved my hands quickly to grab the sails in time.
"Melanie!" I heard Lloyd shouted.
"Don't worry Lloyd, I'll be fine, just hold on tight!" I called. I looked back down to see Zane tied up. As well as Cole, Jay and kai… We're so doomed.
"Melanie!" I held Zane yelled before he got punch in the stomach.
"Zane!"
"Ye dare to disabay us slave? Tis is wat ye get!" I heard Soto asked and he punch Zane one more time.
"No!" I cried. "No one will hurt my family or friends!" I shouted.
End Of POV
Slowly Melanie started to turn transparent and released a strong glow and she started to float.
"She's unlocking her true potential!" Zane exclaimed.
"I already lost so many people in my life and I will not afford to lose anymore!" They all heard Mel yelled. Suddenly, a water orb surrounded her. Then it exploded. The water was boiling hot and it went everywhere and hit the pirates. It hit everyone but the ninja and the pirates fell unconscious. The glow disappeared and Mel turned back into colour. She stopped floating and she fell.
"Melanie!" Zane yelled. He wiggled across the decks due to his hands and feet and arms. He slid across the decks and in time, Melanie landed on him once again. "Melanie," he said and he managed to get his hands free of the rope and he held Mel close and cradle her. 'I already lost so many people in my life and I will not afford to lose anymore!'
This replayed in his head. She first lost her mother. Then she thought she lost her father and haven't seen him for about 6 years. Then she lost Zane but he came back alive. She lost Sensei had he doesn't count does he? And now she lost the baby.
Cole, Kai and Jay managed to get out of the ropes and they ran over to the lovebirds.
"Cole!" Cole looked up to see Lloyd still stuck in the sail. He started to rescue Lloyd.
"I need to take Mel back to the hospital… You guys call the cops so these pirates can be locked up…" Zane sighed and stood up with Mel in his arms.
"What's wrong with Mel? I mean she's just fallen conscious, nothing too serious," Kai asked then they all saw Zane released a tear.
"She… might've lost it," and he left quickly.
"What? That can't be true right?" Jay asked but Kai just shrugged.
"Let's hope not…" Kai sighed. They all cared for Mel. She's like a sister to everyone.
After a while, Cole landed the bounty in the city and the police came and took the pirates away.
"Good, they're gone," Cole said.
"And we have the bounty back!" Lloyd cheered.
"Sorry but we'll be taking it back," they all snapped around to see Garmadon and the serpentine on the decks.
"What?! No fair!" Jay shouted but the ship was already gone.
"Oh well," Kai sighed. "Let's head to the hospital,"
I know, the ending went pretty fast. But please review! And what will happen to Melanie and Zane's unborn child? Will it live or will it die? The faster the votes, the faster the next chapter would be type and posted.
