Please pray for me guys I am very stressed
Review replies:
Monile: See? They're fine. ...for now. MWahahahahHHAHHAHAHHAHA-
NinjagoMLP: True. xD
Ebony: Poor Mira :( had to go through that :( must be so scared :(
Nicktastic: Yeah, but like... I don't want to rush anything that would make them out of character. I think 20 chapters is enough, especially if they get certain... encouragements.
Chantelle: Of course they are.
Entity: tbh I got romance poisoning from writing Morro and Indigo's first kiss in book one. That was harder than it should have been.
Windy: Yeah, email is easier. xD It also cuts the time I spend writing review replies in half. Gosh dang essays. You've probably finished at this point but I hope you did well ^ ^'
Samantha: We shall see.
"Good morning Mira." The illusion mistress shifted in her bed, trying to recognize the voice of the one who had just said her name. She failed. Whatever, she was too tired to care. The blond had expended a ton of energy when she pulled off that stunt earlier, manipulating the senses of everyone in a room at a time was incredibly exhausting. She had been worried that the others would suspect her when she passed out from the strain, but apparently they just chalked it up to fainting from fright. Whatever, better for them to think she was a silly little girl.
"Oh, wait, it's evening, isn't it?" The voice spoke again, and this time she cracked open an eye to see who had spoken. Instantly, her eyes shot wide open, and she sat up in shock. Indigo. "Didn't expect to see me again so soon, did you?" ****! She didn't do anything to get rid of her, of course the first thing she would do is come back and tell them about her!
A few of the others were gathered around her bed as well. There was no escape. At least, not through normal means. Quickly, she made an illusion of herself in the bed, then turned herself invisible, trying to slip past them.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Morro grabbed her arm, and she looked down in surprise to see her arm was visible. She also noticed for the first time that she was chained with Vengestone.
"Of course." She signed, backing up and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Well, I'm caught."
"Yep." Kai snapped his fingers. "Get up." She obeyed, following him out of the room as the other four followed. They brought her down towards the jail, and, along the way, she glanced through an open doorway and stopped short.
"Is that Morro?" She exclaimed in disbelief. Indigo glanced over at the motionless body on the bed.
"Yep. You actually failed to kill him. Good job with that." Indigo gave her a sarcastic pat on the shoulder, then kept walking. "Get moving." Mira frowned, obeying.
"…how?"
"His chains caught on a beam."
"But how? His hands were chained behind his back."
"And you dislocated both his arms. Congratulatyions." The ghost girl increased her pace, looking very annoyed. Because she hurt him? Huh. Mira had thought she didn't like him. The blond didn't fight as she was locked in a cell. The other, she noticed, was still occupied by Charlie.
"We'll interrogate you later." Kai said, hanging the Keys out of reach. "For now, enjoy your stay. And don't go making any escape plans with Charlie, we all know how that goes." With that, the group filed out and the door was closed.
"So, you're turning against each other now, are you?" Mira glanced to her left to see Charlie leaning against the bars, a satisfied smile on her face. "This little rebellion will never work out."
"The only reason I changed sides was because I owed a debt." The illusionist said coolly. "Now that I have paid it, I am free to return to the right side."
"Hmph. As if they'll trust you now." The other girl raised an eyebrow.
"I don't need their trust to be on their side." The blond mimicked the gesture, and Charlie huffed and turned away. Satisfied that she had won the exchange, Mira sat down against the wall to await the others' return.

Nicole could still hardly believe this… this boy used to rule the world.
Morro lay on his side on the bed, chin tucked into the pillow he hugged in his sleep. Despite the odd tilt of his broken jaw, he was handsome. He made a sound in his sleep, a soft groan, from time to time. Maybe from pain? Or just a dream. Slowly, she reached out and touched the green streak in his hair, being careful not to wake him. It was soft. He was pretty cute. Well, he probably was. Nicole really hadn't been around males in so long that she didn't know what was considered attractive.
"Hey." Nicole jerked back at the sound of a voice, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, and looked up to see Lloyd and Andreea entering the room.
"Uh, hi." The dark-haired girl greeted them, slightly flustered. "Here to heal him?"
"Yeah." Andreea glanced at Lloyd. "He doesn't need to be awake, does he?"
"I shouldn't think so." The blond boy shook his head.
"Okay." The healer reached down and touched the sleeping ghost's chin, her fingers glowing white. "This is starting to get old…" She muttered as Morro's jaw repaired itself. The former king shifted, then blinked his eyes open as Andreea healed one shoulder.
"That's… better." He murmured, closing his eyes again. The brunette shrugged, healing his wrist before saying,
"Roll over. I need to get your other arm." The ghost complied, painstakingly rolling onto his other side. The pink ninja healed his other wrist and shoulder, then stepped back. "Anything else hurt?"
"No… no, this is good. Thank you." Morro gave her a faint smile. It was a cute smile. Nicole found herself smiling too.
"Alright." Andreea turned and left, but Lloyd stayed.
"Nicole, do you wanna go and introduce yourself to the others?" The blond suggested.
"Uh, sure, but first, can I ask something?" Nicole tilted her head. Lloyd nodded. "Why are there, uh… two of some people?"
"Oh. Indigo didn't explain?" The green ninja ran a hand through his hair. "Well, that's a bit of a long story, but the short version is that some of us are from another timeline. In that one, we beat Morro, then he joined our side, instead of him taking over the world."
"Okay then." Nicole nodded. "How can you tell who's from which timeline?"
"Well… ask them, for the most part." The blond shrugged. "You don't really know anyone. Um, I'm from the other timeline, if that wasn't obvious, Indigo's from the other timeline, and Jessica and Gin, Lila, Mira, and Nico are from this timeline…" Lloyd trailed off. "It would take too long to explain everyone. You'll pick it up."
"Eh." Nicole stood up. "I'll leave you two alone now." Lloyd opened his mouth to say something, but the mistress of dreams paid no attention, still thinking about Morro's smile. She left the room with a dreamy smile on her face, not even noticing Andreea until she spoke.
"You know he's taken, right?" Nicole stopped short.
"Huh?"
"Lloyd. He has a girlfriend." The brunette elaborated. The dark-haired girl stared at her blankly. "You have a lovey-dovey look on your face after talking to Lloyd."
"Oh. No, it wasn't Lloyd." Nicole made a 'nah' gesture.
"Oh. Wait, the only other one in there was…" Andreea narrowed her eyes. "…Morro."
"And? He's cute." The dream master turned and started heading down the hall the other way.
"You can't just- you don't know what he's done!" Andreea argued, following her.
"Oh don't I? I live here. I was here when he sunk the city. And you can't judge me, you barely know me."
"He's done worse than that!"
"And why do you heal him if he's so bad? And didn't he join your side? And why is it any of your business who I think is cute?" The pink ninja huffed, but didn't argue further. Smirking, Nicole continued down the hall. She had thought she felt an air of hatred towards Morro when they brought him back. That only made her more determined to befriend him. Spite would do that to you. Turning a corner, the dream mistress went in search of the others. It was time to meet her new team.
