The Plague and The Pirates
Chapter 22 : The Morning Before School.
ItsYoGreenGirl : I'll be keeping an eye out, and when it comes to the return of a biker gang, and more Oni Masks, you can bet that Liv will play a major part, especially for Lydia and Alex, mainly because Lydia hasn't really known Liv before, and Alex is living through the same childhood that she did, you are right with Clayton, now that's he's apologizes and told his parents how he felt, he's going to whatever it takes, to find and protect Alex, and tell her the same, and Siddie's only been captured, she's not gone yet, and when they find out when The Plague Doctor will attack, they will do whatever it takes to get her back, and you'll see what I got planned for the 10 Oni Masks in time, and I will say Liv makes an appearance at the end of this Chapter, but that may be it until this little series here reaches The Masks of Garmadon, and you know how the rest of the ninja have kids. . . who's to say that in time, Liv won't reveal that she has a kid, ( Then again, that's a thought I've had in my head for a while, though I have no clue how that'll work out, so I'll have to think about that ), and One last thing I'll say, is that with each villain that's left, and the ideas in my head, this little series of the Young Ninjas adventures, and the amount of stories, may go up to 8.
Previously on The Plague and The Pirates : Eric arrives early in the morning at Ignacia, and reveals himself to his Grandparents, and while shocked, Maya was overjoyed at Eric was alive, and she went with him and Alex, while Nya calls her mother, and tells how she thinks Eric is still alive, since she still doesn't know, and Nya then tells her mother that she's going to find Alex and ask her what she knows, before The Plague Doctor launches another attack, and Nurse Payne arrives at the Hospital, and captures Siddie, just ask Clayton retrieves the antidote for the virus, then gives it to Nurse Rachet, and the kids are treated from the virus, then The Formlings' Princess, stops near Mystake's Tea Shop, and Maya tells her grandson to be careful, before he and Alex head to ask Mystake about The Oni's Maps, and she tells them, about the masks, and if they reunite that they will be able to resurrect the Omega Oni, before Akita and Nya knock on the door of Mystake's shop, and Alex and Eric make a run for it, leaving the two of them in frustration, before Alex and Eric head back to Ignacia, and Alex notices some sort of journal, and it has the picture of some sort of girl standing with Lloyd and Harumi when they were teenagers, before that same girl comes towards Alex, and asks for her journal back, Alex gives back the journal, and the girl sits next to her, and Alex tells her about how scared she is, and she doesn't know what to do with her life, at this young age, and the person she was talking to, revealed herself to be Liv Garmadon, and Liv gave her advice, while at the hospital, Lydia told Lloyd and Jay that she saw Liv at Ignacia, and they looked at the footage, and saw for themselves, leaving them in shock. . .
What happens Next?
Find Out Now!
September 16th, 8:25 a.m., Royal Palace
Lydia was just waking up, since it was time for her and her friends to go back to School.
Just then Lloyd knocked on the sliding door to Lydia's room and he walked in.
Lloyd : Hey Sweetie.
Princess Lydia : Hi, Daddy.
Lloyd : Are you okay?
Princess Lydia : I guess, it's just that this was the weirdest, summer, ever.
Lloyd : I can't blame you for thinking that.
Princess Lydia : Now Eric's gone, Alex and Hazel are off who knows where, and I have a feeling if any of us try to tell our classmates about what we did over summer, and I mean fighting villains and all that, they'll think we're ridiculous.
Lloyd : Nobody should think about you like that Lydia, and if they do, Ignore them, Like Nya had told Eric, I'm going to tell you, It matters on how you see yourself, not how others see you, especially the kids at school.
Princess Lydia : Thanks, Daddy.
Lydia stood up and hugged her father, Lloyd returned the hug and helped Lydia get ready for school.
Lydia was wearing a green kimono, which was similar to Nya's from Season 10, only it was green, and the accents were Gold and White, and near Lydia's left shoulder, it had a golden picture of her spirit animal, which was the dragon, same as Lloyd's.
Princess Lydia : Sometimes I wonder what people think of me when they see that clothing like this is what I normally wear, at school, and in general.
Empress Harumi : Well you are a princess Lydia, it's normal, it was when I was a teenager, and nobody ever made fun of me for it, then again I was usually never allowed to leave the Palace, until after The Sons of Garmadon.
Princess Lydia : Since the first thing they always do at School is ask us what we did over summer, I have a feeling Charlie and I are gonna end up telling them the stories of The Next Tournament of Elements, and the March of the Villains.
Misako : If they don't believe it, they should, since Charlie was one of the people standing next to Siddie during her speech, and i'm sure everybody saw you unlock your true potential on top of Borg Tower.
Princess Lydia : Strange times indeed for little girl.
Lloyd : True, but the one I saw on the tower that day was my little girl, and I wouldn't have that any other way.
Lloyd : You should probably go Lydia, the bus will be here in a few minutes.
Princess Lydia : Okay.
Both Lloyd and Harumi stood beside each other, and smiled at Lydia, and she did the same as she looked into her eyes
Empress Harumi : Have a good day, Sweetie.
Harumi and Lloyd kissed Lydia's cheeks, and she smiled at them.
Princess Lydia : I will.
Lydia then walks out of the Palace, towards the bus stop, with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile aboard The Formlings' Princess.
Alex was on the phone with Akita, and she was talking about School. . . and Eric.
Queen Akita : So Eric apparently has a ship now, and that's where you are?
Princess Alex : Mommy, I'm really really sorry, but I just thought It was somehow better if I was with Eric.
Queen Akita : How is sneaking away and going with Eric better, Clayton's been worried about you for almost 3 days.
Princess Alex : Really?
Queen Akita : Yes, he said he was sorry, and right now Clayton just wants to find out where you are, but because of School, he can't.
Princess Alex : I'm coming back.
Queen Akita : What?
Princess Alex : I'm going to School, but afterwards, I'm going back to Eric's Ship.
Queen Akita : Why?
Princess Alex : Mommy, I really want to see you, but right now I can't, and with every one of my fears, going through my head, I can't risk letting it get the better of me, and hurt those close to me in the process, when I'm able to control my fear, I'll come see you. . . but right now, I'm too scared.
Queen Akita : Sweetheart, I'm sorry, for now I'll try and convince Nya to stop looking for you two, but you and Eric know as well as I do, that Nya is getting closer to finding out about Eric, and if he doesn't reveal himself before Nya finds out on her own, you aren't going to be safe, anywhere.
Princess Alex : I know, so the least you can do for me, is slow her down, please. . .
Queen Akita : I will Alex, and I love you.
Princess Alex : I love you too, Mommy.
Alex ended the call, and Liv came beside her.
Liv : You alright?
Princess Alex : I guess, though Nya isn't stupid, she's getting closer to finding out about Eric, and if we can't stop this whole mess, before she finds out, it may be truly be the end for both of us.
Liv : I doubt it'll come to that Alex, I've had feelings like that once before, when I tried hiding from my twin brother, but when I actually met Lloyd, It felt at weird at first, but having a strong bond with those close to you, is really all you need in these times, my brother showed me that, and in this time, if anybody should show you, it should be your brother as well. . .
Princess Alex : Clayton.
Liv : Exactly.
Princess Alex : Thank you, Liv.
Liv : Of course.
Liv also looked at Alex, and seeing her wear her normal clothes, which were the white dress, with yellow and light blue accents, the short navy blue jacket, the boots she was wearing this time were shorter and light blue, and she had the Light-blue and yellow flowers in her hair, but something about Alex's style seemed to please Liv.
Liv : I like your sense of style, Alex.
Princess Alex : Pretty sure you're like the 6th person who's said that, Eric's said it, my Mommy's said it, Aunt Rumi, Charlie, Lydia, and I think that's it.
Liv : Good memory, seems nice that my brother and one of my best friends ended up together, and now they're the Royal Family of Ninjago.
Princess Alex : Are you jealous of Emperor Lloyd?
Liv : No, I'm happy for my brother, though I will say, sometimes It's harder to be sitting on the sidelines, when I see him, and even my mother in that palace.
Princess Alex : Why don't you go back, from what it seems like you've told me, you and Lloyd are inseparable, so why keep away.
Eric : Liv, you know she's right.
Liv looked over, and saw Eric standing next to her.
Eric : Stop hiding out in the sidelines, better known as the shadows, if you're scared to show all of Ninjago that you exist, and instead of locking yourself, and your powers in the darkness, what'll make it better, is if you stand beside him, and listen to us, when we say that the world is so much brighter, than this.
Eric grabbed Liv's hand, and she used her powers, and she could understand what Eric meant.
Liv : You're probably right, I've been around my brother more often since I met him, and stopped my father-
Princess Alex : Again.
Liv : Yea Again, and speaking of which, how many times have we stopped in during his evil lifetime.
Eric : There was his banishment, the mega weapon, the dark island, the Sons of Garmadon-
Liv : No idea what I was thinking there.
Eric : The Oni Titan, then when he was brought of the Departed Realm many years after Lloyd saved you, when he got arrested, and then Lloyd thought it was a good idea to trust him with stopping Clouse, until he helped blow the palace up, then Lydia unlocked her true potential, and sent him back into the Glass Cage called a Maximum Security cell where he belongs.
Liv : So six times, and like I said, I've been around Lloyd and my mother, since I actually met him, and tried to keep so many secrets to myself, really knowing who they were, seemed to make my life a lot better.
Princess Alex : Another thing that relates you to my father, just because they call him The Man of Many Secrets, doesn't mean he's the only one who doesn't have many secrets.
Eric : And what you said about your life being better, probably because you met the people who were close to you, and would try their best to always stay beside you, regardless of how afraid you really were.
Liv : Yea. . . well I'll leave you kids to it, I'll be back, but I might head to Ninjago City and talk with my brother.
Eric : Alright, just be careful, and keep away from Jay and Nya, they seem to want to ask you and Alex some "questions" the most.
Liv : Alright, I'll be back later.
Liv walked away, leaving Eric with Alex
Princess Alex : I can see your point, but I'm gonna be late if I keep talking, about how alone I feel.
Eric put his hand on Alex's shoulder and smiled at her.
Eric : You're not alone Alex.
Alex smiled, and it was her turn to put a hand on Eric's shoulder.
Princess Alex : Neither are you, I can understand the fear of the pain or shock that may go into your mother or your friends with them still not knowing that you're back, I can't imagine what must be going through your head, but I just want you to know that whatever happens, I'll be here.
tears formed in Eric's eyes, as he wrapped his arms around Alex's waist, and kissed her, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, and returned the kiss.
Princess Alex : I should probably go.
Eric : Alright, I'll see you later Alex.
Alex kissed Eric's cheek, before she was about jump off the ship, and use her dragon.
Princess Alex : I'll see you later, Eric.
Alex used her dragon, and began flying towards the School in Ninjago City.
Meanwhile on the streets of Ninjago City
Morro and Richard had moved into an apartment in the city, and since it wasn't far from the school, Richard was walking there, even if he didn't have to leave for a half hour, and he was talking to Morro on his phone.
Morro : So if most of those kids don't like you, or avoid you, just because your dad is one of Ninjago's Greatest Villains, ignore them, and remember who your real friends are Richard.
Richard : I will Dad, and I just hope that soon that my friends' parents will find out where Siddie was taken.
Morro : I'm sure they'll find her Richard, I've seen how much Siddie means to you, and after school, if they still haven't, you can help find her, if you want to.
Richard : I know, and I probably will, I just seemed to get annoyed with how much you keep talking to me about Mom's bracelet.
Morro : I know Okay, and I'm sorry.
Richard : Dad.
Morro : Yea?
Richard : Just because I don't want to talk about Mom, doesn't mean I don't love you anymore.
Morro : Richard, I love you so much, you've become the brightest part of my life, since the day you were born, and ever since that day, I've wanted to do what's right beside you, and all of Ninjago, and while it may not seem like it at times, I'm trying, and I always will, because even if your mother isn't here anymore, I'll still do what I can to make you happy.
Richard : You're back, and here with me Dad. . . I'm already happy.
Morro : Me too, and don't worry, we'll get through, and recover from what we suffered, I promise.
Richard : Okay, I'll be okay though, as long as you're still with me.
Richard : I gotta go Dad, I'll call you when I'm walking home.
Morro : Alright, I'll talk to you then, Son.
Richard ended the call, and kept walking towards the School.
Meanwhile at Nya and Jay's House.
Nina was getting ready for School, but she seemed to still have her mind of her brother.
Nina was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, and black pants, and dark blue shoes, and she had her hair in a ponytail similar to how Nya did her hair, with a dark blue scrunchie in her ponytail.
She was putting on pale pink lipstick and looking in her mirror.
Just then Jay knocked on the door and came in.
Jay : Hey Nina.
Nina : Hi, Dad.
Jay : Trying to look just like your mother now?
Nina : I take after Mom's style, is that an issue.
Jay : No, I just seemed a little bit either annoyed or embarrassed that you and your brother neither seemed to take after my style.
Nina : Well Eric did use the eye patch for a short time, and to be honest, I'm not sure if either of us were fans of Piracy.
Jay : Fair enough. . . but Sweetie, are you okay?
Nina : I don't know, I'm pretty sure the second I get to school, people are gonna start asking where my brother is.
Jay : I would say ignore them, but something like that you can't ignore.
Nina : Yea.
Nina and Jay walked out of Nina and Eric's Room, and they saw Nya in the kitchen.
Nina : Hi, Mom.
Nya : Hey, Nina.
Nina : You still having thoughts about Eric?
Nya : Well his cute and innocent girlfriend vanishes, along with Hazel, and Mystake says that Alex was at her shop, and I could even hear her voice, and Mystake telling me that we "just" missed her, it drives me crazy that Alex is staying hidden like that, It tells me that she knows more than what she lets on.
Nina : That, and Brenden said she was even scared of herself, and If my twin brother is alive, then I'm sure I can understand why Alex's Fear is getting the better of her, especially if that fear hurts people close to her, or close to people she cares for, if Eric is alive, then It would make sense why Alex wouldn't want to be near you, since you're his mother, same as mine.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Jay : I got it.
Jay went to answer the door and saw Akita standing there.
Queen Akita : Hello, Jay.
Jay : Akita, this is surprising.
Queen Akita : Well, It's Nya I'm looking for.
Nya : I'm right here.
Akita walked inside the house, and saw Nya standing in the kitchen.
Queen Akita : Nya, I was going to ask you to stop looking for my daughter.
Nya : What, why?
Queen Akita : Because she's scared, and I was on the phone with her a little while ago, she's freaking out that her boyfriend's mother is chasing her, just to get answers, when Alex wants to reveal herself, and those answers she will, trying to track her and get those answers sooner, will only make her twice as scared, especially of herself.
Nya : Not only that, but another reason I'm looking for Alex, is because if we find her, then we find Liv.
Jay : And why Liv was at Ignacia with Alex, is something I want to know.
Queen Akita : Why, so you can just annoy your best friend until she spills the beans, seems like your personality.
Jay : Well with Liv, it's different.
Queen Akita : Is it now, because I've seen you do such a thing with Cole, and your his best friend, so how is it any different with another one of your best friends?
Jay : I'm not even gonna go there, it would be easier if Lloyd and I were working together and taking on these villains, we would easily destroy them-
Queen Akita : How, by boring to them to death with stories about Liv and Harumi?
Jay let that shock sink in for a moment, before giving his response.
Jay : I'm not going to describe, how mad that just made me Akita, so I think it's best if you leave.
Queen Akita : It's not like Eric or Alex are here, so there's no point in arguing with the annoying ninja.
Nina snorted, and tried to keep herself from laughing, and Jay looked at her.
Nina : Dad, don't say I'm wrong.
Jay : Fine.
Queen Akita : And the next time I see my daughter, and she tells me that you were still tracking her Nya, you will pay.
Nya : How's that, by giving you a dollar and say we're good.
Akita growled at Nya and Jay, before leaving and walking away from the house.
Meanwhile at Kai and Skylor's House.
Charlie and Felicia were in Charlie's room, talking to each other.
Felicia had just finished putting her supplies in her backpack, and Charlie had finished getting dressed.
Felicia was wearing a red jacket, black shirt, and dark brown pants.
Charlie was wearing a short sleeve black overshirt, orange and white tie dye t-shirt, and red pants.
Felicia : Curious at all on how this day will go?
Charlie : A bit, find it weird that you, Zach, Lucas, Richard, Xavier, and Hazel are all in a 3rd Grade Class, while the rest of us are in a multi-grade class, which I find cool and weird.
Felicia : True, but I figured it meant two reasons, same knowledge level, or too many or not enough of one grade, so they combine them into one class instead.
Charlie : Fair enough.
Felicia and Charlie left Charlie's Room, and they saw Chen in the living room with Kai, and Skylor was in the kitchen.
Charlie : Hi, Grandfather.
Master Chen : Hello, Charlie.
Skylor : Dad, one thing I will say, is that not only did your change of ways make me want to ask you to stay with us, but so did Charlie asking please every 4 seconds.
Master Chen : Really, now?
Charlie : Can you blame me?
Kai : No Son, we can't and we won't.
Felicia : For some weird reason, last school year, one of the last things we did, was the teachers were asking us what we wanted to do with our lives once we were older, and not many people had a response, except for a few of us.
Skylor : What did you guys say?
Felicia : Nina said she wanted to be an Inventor, Eric said he wanted to be a Mechanic, so they both wanted to follow in their parents footsteps.
Charlie : Believe it or not, I said that I wanted to be a Blacksmith.
Kai smiled at his son, knowing that he wanted to be more like him.
Kai : Maybe sometime Charlie I could show more about that.
Felicia : I'm not sure what to do with my life, the reason I thought about the Noodle House, was because it seemed easy.
Skylor : It is in some ways Felicia, but it more or less depends on your job in the Noodle House, and how many people are there each day.
Master Chen : I can and cannot relate to that, since I was on my Island, I had ran the Noodle Factory once, as if it was a Restaurant, and my workers and my comrades went crazy.
Felicia : Lydia just said that she wanted to be as good as an Empress as her mother, and because of her being the responsible and focused one, Siddie said she wanted to be a cop also.
Kai : Sometimes I may not ever understand that with kids following in their parents footsteps.
Master Chen : You too did, Skylor took over the Noodle House, and you opened your own blacksmith shop Kai.
Kai : Yea, because I had done that since I was 14, a few years before I became a ninja, so I just went back to what I was good at.
Felicia : I thought Aunt Nya said you were a terrible blacksmith.
Kai : That's what she always told me, doesn't mean I listened.
Charlie : Yea, well we need to walk outside to the bus.
Skylor : Alright, see you kids later.
Felicia and Charlie leave their house, and walk towards the bus stop outside.
Meanwhile at The Formlings' Kingdom.
The Formlings were preparing for School, and Brenden and Kataru were with the kids, since Akita had left to talk with Nya and Jay.
Clayton, Zach, Via, and Lucas were downstairs in the Living Room, waiting for them to head out to the bus stop, and they were all wearing their normal clothes.
Zach was wearing a Royal Yellow Sweater and black pants, Clayton was wearing a gray and white tie dye hoodie and blue pants, Via was wearing a red t-shirt, and black pants, and Lucas was wearing a dark red sweatshirt, and faded jeans.
Brenden : You kids okay?
Lucas : We're fine Dad, just a bit curious of how School's gonna go.
Clayton : I'm just thinking about Alex, Nurse Payne saying she was dead, I don't believe that.
Prince Zach : You're not the only one.
Brenden : It's okay for you kids to be worried about her, but your mother said Alex would come to the school, but after that she's leaving again, so Alex just needs time to herself if she's having some trouble, but once she's ready, she'll reveal what it is.
Clayton : We know Dad, It's just out of the ordinary for Alex to act this way, and she has been since she broke out of The Plague Doctor's dungeons, it's almost like there was something or someone down there, and she's gonna act this way until The Plague Doctor is gone, if she's still alive by then.
Brenden : That may be, but as long as she comes back, then we'll be able to ask her what's wrong.
Via : Understood.
Clayton : I hope so, I'm not taking Nurse Payne's word that my little sister is dead, but if I hear that nurse say it one more time, I using my Golden Hammer has a baseball bat, and hitting her until she flies the distance of a home run.
Via : Sounds like something Siddie would do.
The Formlings then left their home, and went to the only bus stop that was out near the Birchwood Forest, since Akita and Lloyd convinced the School to send a bus out that far.
Meanwhile at Rubble Grove. . .
The Plague Doctor's Minions were preparing their huge Zeppelin and the rest of their helicopters and ships for their final plan.
In the Prison Cells of the Zeppelin, Siddie was in there reading a book, since she had nothing better to do.
Dr. Rogers : You know there is still one way out.
Siddie : Yea, by bringing you down, my Mommy and Daddy haven't forgotten me, and they will end you, and if they don't, Eric and Alex will.
Dr. Rogers : I'm counting on it, and I'm also counting on Nya and Queen Akita, for they will finally fall, along with your parents, they have been on top of me and my plans because of their little bundles of joy for far too long, and don't worry, they won't suffer. . . that long.
Siddie banged the iron bars of the cell door, as Dr. Rogers laughed and walked away.
Meanwhile in Ninjago City. . .
It's 8:45 a.m., 20 Minutes before School.
The School is exactly like the Ninjago High School from the Ninjago Movie, only thing is that it's an elementary school.
The school buses were arriving, while Xavier, Richard, and Alex were waiting for their friends, since they both lived in Ninjago City, they both just walked, and Alex used her dragon.
The Young Ninjas got off their buses, and walked over to their friends.
Felicia : Hey guys.
Xavier : Greetings.
Richard : Hey.
Charlie : So your lovebirds are gone, for now, and we are on The First Day of School on Lydia's Birthday, with a madman still out there.
Princess Alex : Just a perfect day is ahead of us all, I can tell.
Just then, the last bus had stopped, and Lydia was the first one off.
For some reason, most of the kids knew it was Lydia's Birthday, but they didn't know about her love for Charlie, and Charlie's love for her.
Princess Lydia : Hey guys.
Prince Zach : Hey, cuz.
Charlie : Hey, gorgeous.
Lydia giggled before holding Charlie's hand, and most of the "bullies" at the school, walked over and surrounded the Young Ninjas.
They were confused, before a 5th Grader walked up to them, and was holding something behind his back.
Person : Hello kids!
Felicia : Hello, Chad.
Chad : What's that tone for?
Nina : What do you want?
Chad : Well first off, to ask what you're doing with the furry animal freaks of The Formlings' Kingdom, especially the Princess.
Princess Alex : You know I can become an Arctic Fox at any time right, and bite you.
Chad : Big words for a little innocent girl.
Alex was growling at Chad, before Clayton grabbed her hand.
Clayton : Don't lower yourself to their level, little sister.
Clayton wrapped one of his arms around Alex and kept her beside him.
Chad : And then there's the Emerald Princess of Ninjago.
Chad snapped his fingers, and his "crew" stood beside him, and they each had a hand behind their back.
But what they were doing, attracted the attention from the rest of the students, and they were all behind Chad's Group as they still surrounded the Young Ninjas.
Lydia had a can of silly string in her right hand, and Charlie had one in his left, and since they were facing away from Chad's Group, they couldn't see the silly string.
Chad : The Emerald Princess, the little and innocent princess, who's got nothing but an evil grandfather-
Princess Lydia : And a good boyfriend.
Lydia smiled at Charlie and looked at him, and he did the same.
Charlie : Which reminds me to say, that I have the best girlfriend.
Princess Lydia : Thank you, Charlie.
Charlie kissed Lydia on the lips, and she returned the kiss, and they held hands, but kept their silly string hidden in their opposite hands.
Chad : Gross.
All the girls, and quite a few of the boys standing behind Chad's Group were cooing their moment, and saying "aww" at the two of them, before the two parted from their kiss.
Chad : So who's the green girl?
Princess Lydia : Me.
Charlie : but I'm not feeling not so good.
Felicia : Why Charlie.
Chad : Maybe because he knows he's about to get humiliated!
Chad's Group pulled out their water balloons, and Chad actually had a Paintball Gun.
Charlie : No I mean, I don't feel good, I'm gonna, gonna. . .
Lydia and Charlie shared Mischievous smiles with each other, before they looked at Chad's Group.
Charlie : Blah!
Princess Lydia : Bleh!
Charlie and Lydia both sprayed the Silly String all over Chad and his group, and the Young Ninjas started laughing, and they did their Silly String as well.
Chad : Retreat!
The Young Ninjas chased them up the stairs, all the way until Chad's Group ran inside the school, and the rest of the kids gave a small round of applause, after the doors closed, and hit Chad in the face, and he fell and felt dizzy as he was covered in Silly String.
Charlie and Lydia : *laughing*
Princess Lydia : Best Day Ever!
Chad : You'll regret this.
Princess Lydia : And you'll regret, ever messing with the Young Ninja, now get outta here, it's time for School, for the Young Ninja.
Chad took off running before Lydia could spray him away, and the kids put away their silly string and walked inside the School.
Meanwhile at The Royal Palace.
Akita and Brenden went there to talk with Harumi and Lloyd, since Nya and Jay were obviously in a serious mood, with Liv and Alex lurking around Ninjago.
Queen Akita : So that's why I'm worried about Nya and Jay.
Lloyd : If Alex just needs time away from this whole mess, I would say let her.
Queen Akita : I have Lloyd, it's your old friends that haven't.
Brenden : There's only one person I know who could convince them to leave Alex alone, and that's-
Person : Me.
Everybody looked up, and saw Liv standing in entrance to the living room, and she saw Lloyd eating sour gummy bears.
Liv : Hey there, little brother.
Lloyd : Liv!
Lloyd got up, and went straight to hug his twin sister, and Liv returned the hug, and even giggled, though she wasn't surprised that Lloyd reacted this way.
Liv : It's good to see you, Lloyd.
Lloyd : I think it's great to see you.
Liv : Still got the sweet tooth?
Lloyd : Real funny, at least Nya and Kai aren't trying to take my candy again, and don't judge me when your sweet tooth is almost as big.
Liv : Almost, that doesn't mean it is, and I have a sweet tooth, not a sour one.
Lloyd : Oh come on, Sour Candy is perfectly normal for people.
Empress Harumi : That may be Lloyd, but you used to implore sour gummy bears, as much as cats implore leashes.
Lloyd : Hey!
Liv laughed at Harumi's joke, and soon Harumi and Lloyd were laughing too.
Just then, Misako walked into the room, and saw Liv standing next to Harumi and Lloyd.
Misako : Liv?!
Liv : Hi, Mom.
Misako went straight up, and hugged her daughter, and Liv returned the hug.
a few tears left Misako's eyes, and the same happened for Liv.
Liv : I missed you.
Misako : I missed you too.
Lloyd : Sis, where were you anyway?
Liv : Working in Ninjago City, I have a big job, and life, it seems to have gotten easier for you.
Empress Harumi : Didn't Lloyd and I give you the option to live at the palace after we got married?
Liv : Well yea, but that was 19 years ago, and I figured since it took so long, when I had an answer, I figured that door closed, and I was on my own, once, again!
Liv fell back, and laid on the couch, and sighed over dramatically.
Lloyd : Drama queen.
Liv chucked the throw pillow at Lloyd, and hit his head, and he fell.
Liv started dying of laughter, as Lloyd got back up, and playfully glared at his sister.
Lloyd : The offer still stands big sister.
Liv : Even after this long, I never thought about it after almost a year.
Lloyd : Well why-
Liv : After 20 years, why are you still asking me a million questions?, spare me little brother!
Lloyd : Oh, I'm sorry about still giving the offer for my twin sister to live with me, after the fact that she stayed hidden for 4 years, and I almost got her killed!
Liv snorted, since she knew Lloyd was messing with her.
Liv : You know you're still the same old pain right, as in the pain in my neck?
Lloyd : One and Only, how can I be of service?
Liv : I said this once, I'll say it again, drama king, or Drama Emperor to be more descriptive.
Lloyd : I remember when I tried saying I didn't like being the baby of the family, well I'm sure my daughter and my niece feel the same way.
Liv : Lydia and Alex?
Lloyd : Yea, they're the youngest, and it seems like they're both afraid of getting picked on because of who they're related too.
Liv : What do you mean?
Lloyd : Well our dad is Lydia's Grandfather, and Alex's birth father is Acronix.
Liv : Oh.
Lloyd : Still hate it sometimes that you're the older twin.
Liv : You snooze you lose, I beat you at everything, I even beat you into this world.
Lloyd : dimwit.
Liv : nimrod.
Lloyd : jerk.
Liv : brat.
Lloyd : Demon spawn.
Liv : And I told you ages ago that you're a demon spawn too!
Lloyd walked over and grabbed his bag of Sour gummy bears, and had an idea.
Lloyd : Maybe if you do come live here, I could even charge you for the sour candy.
Liv : Would you really do that?
Lloyd : Would you want to find out?
Empress Harumi : Then I remember Kai and Nya saying how one demon spawn wasn't enough.
Liv : I would never buy sour candy, from you little brother.
Lloyd turned around and gave Liv a mischievous smile.
Lloyd : Well, this one's on the house!
Lloyd threw the bag of Gummy Bears at Liv, and it hit her straight in the face, as she stood up, and glared at Lloyd playfully, as she quickly started picking the gummy bears out of her hair.
Liv : I thought I told you that nobody messes up my hair!
Lloyd : Well I just did!
Misako : You two are grown up now, and you're still finding ways to mess with each other?
Liv and Lloyd : We're twins.
Misako giggled at her son and daughter messing with each other, and Liv sat down next to Lloyd, and continued picking the Sour Gummy Bears out of her hair, but she knew regardless, it was a good idea to come and see her twin brother.
Next Time on The Plague and The Pirates : The Plague Doctor's Final Plan has just begun, as the Zeppelin and the rest of his helicopters and small airships fly out of Rubble Grove, and make a slow flight over Ninjago, while Jay and Nya arrive at the palace, and they both see Liv is there with Lloyd and Harumi, and they use the time to question her about why she was with Alex, and the Young Ninjas start their First Day of School, and they decide to tell their classmates what they did over Summer, and when their teachers ask them about Eric, regardless of their classmates' reactions, Nina decides to tell them that he's dead, but little does she know, he's flying directly above them. . .
