Another request by Lya200!
BTW, Jade yes it WAS Soul Eater and you just made me realize that I put an anime that has like SO MANY DEATHS in it before this topic! XD
The Bright Side
Do you know how it feels, to lose an old friend? A friend that has been by your side since the beginning and now he's gone? What would you feel? He was annoying, yes but would you be happy that he died? Of course not.
Sensei has spread his wings and flew off to reunite with his father and watch over Ninjago. He may be gone but he never had children, so who would lead the next generation of ninjas when darkness came to strike again? Would Ninjago be plummeted into darkness or will someone come to train the new generation and take care of them as if they were family?
There was nothing going on in their lives anymore. Missions came and went but they barely talked to one another. But only one of them tried to get everyone spirits up and running. That person was Jay.
Even though Jay is smart and has been bullied before he had friends he still kept his positive attitude. This attitude would cheer anybody up but when it came to Sensei's death they just pretended nothing was going to happen. It was like they were stuck in depression. But Jay knew that Sensei wanted them to move on and protect Ninjago because he promised his father and they promised him as well. So what if he died while they were celebrating the defeat of the Overlord? They would still be able to move on knowing that Sensei's teachings live on.
"You guys got to cheer up. Sensei wouldn't be happy about this. When things like death happen we need to move on and be happy. We don't know if Sensei was suffering because he is old and drinks a lot of tea. If there was stress on his heart be happy that it's gone and he's happy. But he wouldn't be happy because all we're doing are carry burdens and being disheartened!" Jay said.
Kai sighed. "Say whatever you want. Things will never be the same without him."
"Yeah but if we don't pick up our butts and do something Ninjago may be put into depression from darkness! You guys need to understand gone or not Sensei is still here and I bet you he would be telling you to get animated and save the world!"
"This is coming from Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky." Cole mumbled.
Jay got frustrated. "KAI! Your parents died and look at you now, you don't even cry nor think about them. Cole your mother is like dead even of she is alive! You don't even remember you so she dead to you! Zane is just some robot! He only as Dr. J but he still feels dead on the inside because he wants to be human! Lloyd you BEEN thinking your mother was dead for like EVER! But you guys still had the strength to pull through! Why won't you do the same for Sensei?"
The four looked down to the floor in shame.
"Well your Jay. Both of your parents have been together forever, have friends, get amazing grades, cool with the teachers and more! You may be wondering why we refuse to forget Sensei but think about it. Nothing happened to you that was bad. This is probably the most depressing thing you may experience in your life anyway since you're lucky." Lloyd explained.
Jay ran up to Lloyd and smacked Lloyd.
"Nothing in my life happened huh? If you haven't noticed I've been bullied by people before I came to Ninjago High, some of the bullies used words while others used lockers. I remember one girl would go in my bookbag without looking and take ALL of my homework out of my bookbag so I would have to do it in class the next day. I remember one boy would take my pens and pencils and run around and throw them. When I caught them I usually ran into walls which broke the frame of many glasses. You may call me 'Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky' but I'm willing to look forward to the future and overcome any obstacles that I encounter. After all I AM a ninja and death is part of life after all."
Zane looked at Jay. "But why are you willing to see what would happen in the future even though it may be full of tragedies?"
Jay patted Zane on the back. "We're ninjas and the things we've seen help prepare us for the future. Whoever said life would be easy? Things that are easy won't help you achieve in life. If you survive something it'll help you through life anyway."
Kai smiled at Jay. "You do have a point there."
"Not only that we made a promise to Sensei saying that we'll keep his teachings and protect Ninjago from evil." Cole realized.
Lloyd stood up. "Then it's settled. We'll keep uncle's dream living for if it lives, HE lives as well and that's when we achieve our goal and our lives will end as well.
The five of them smiled and high-fived each other.
Death's unknown but hey. Remember, he IS old...too much sugar would mean...Y'KNOW I'm not going to say it...diabetes.
THERE. Sadly one of my friends has it. (Runs in her family)
Have a good day/night!
