Hi guys, here's the long awaited EPIC answer to what the heck is Lloyd freaking about now. Well read and find out! ;) But first some review replies:
It'syogreengirl- Yeah so if you go back and reread the chapter where I first introduced Greta, you'll see how I wrote Koso to talk to her in a way that implies they knew each other. Later I will address their connection to each other with more detail. Also I'm really glad you're getting into this story, as I have said all commentary is welcome, my main goal is to keep improving this story
Fallingtoast- IKR Morro is honestly a sad ball of trauma and needs all of the hugs. Also thank you so much I'm happy that it seems I am improving with my writing.
Also guys I need to apologize head of time for this wacky chapter. Please forgive me.
Anyways on to the story...
Chapter 13
"What do you mean we have a problem?!" Morro yelled, instantly regretting it because not long after his body felt like it was being stabbed by a thousand knives in a thousand different places on his person.
"What do you think I mea- just,-never mind!" Lloyd shouted back before taking in a deep, exasperated breath. Then the blonde did something that REALLY surprised Morro. He walked over to the bed bound wind master and began wrapping the bed's blankets around him like he was a burrito.
"What the f**k do you think you're doing!" Morro shouted, unable to struggle due to the sheer pain he was experiencing.
Lloyd didn't reply until he was finished and then stepped back from the bed to survey his work. " Look, I just, if things happen to get out of hand- it's just a precaution OK!" The green ninja explained haphazardly. " For now I need you to STAY put and don't try to move or do anything stupid, while I deal with this, you...you get me?"
Before Morro could reply, Lloyd had already begun heading out the room, whilst closing the bedroom door behind him "Ok great, glad you understand, just know that whatever you hear on the other side of this door, I-I I've got it under control." The blonde said, with a less than subtle lack of confidence.
"WAIT! DON'T YOU DAR-"
The bedroom door was already slammed shut before Morro could finish, and all Lloyd could hear of the wind master after that was muffled cursing. The blonde then turned around and began slowly tip toe back to the kitchen where the 'problem' was residing, or more specifically the giant,snarling wolf like creature that was balancing itself on the kitchen table. The beast was covered in pitch black fur and had bright blue eyes and huge, razor sharp teeth that it was currently using to crush the bones of an unfortunate chicken that it had snagged from the backyard when it somehow found a way past the barrier. Lloyd had no idea how this thing got inside or where it came from. All he knew was when he had woken up that morning (back slightly sore from sleeping on the uncomfortable couch) he was met with the sight of a gigantic wolf in the kitchen and now he had to do something and fast before,...before...well, before he was eaten or something like that. So steeling his nerves, Lloyd carefully made his way towards the animal as it swallowed the last of its meal down its ginormous throat. The wolf looked up immediately when Lloyd came within two feet of it. Its amazingly bright blue eyes narrowed ever so slightly, as if it were thinking about what to do about the green ninja. Sucking in a deep breath Lloyd began to speak,
"Ok, ok you had your meal, now...now go on," The wolf simply licked its lips in reply as it stared dead straight at the green ninja. Lloyd let out a nervous sigh. "C'mon, n-nice, uh doggy, let's go outside now." The blonde emphasized his point by gesturing to the open front door the wolf had ripped open upon its entry. The wolf looked to it briefly before once again fixing its eyes on Lloyd once more. Then it hopped down from the table and began to slowly make its way towards Lloyd. The blonde began to back, as his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. He didn't want to do this, but...the green ninja charged a small ball of green energy in his hands as he began to try to speak to the approaching animal with a stern tone. "Hey. HEY! Listen, you need to stop, right now. I don't want to hurt you but-" Lloyd was not able to finish, because within the next second the wolf pounced on him and knocked him to the ground with a loud thud. The energy ball Lloyd had created, because it wasn't given enough power simply dissipated upon impact.
"H-Hey!" The blonde shouted. He felt his heart rate quicken when the wolf's face came close to his. The blonde turned his face to the side clenching his eyes shut. For a fraction of a second all he could think was 'I'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieThisiswhereIdie!' The animal's mouth began to open, and Lloyd was sure he was going to get bitten, however instead of having his face torn off, all the green ninja's facial features were met with was the sticky and wet feeling of being licked in the face.
The blonde's eyes shot open as he turned his head back to face the wolf that had just licked him.
"W-what just hap-" Lloyd was cut off as it licked him on the nose.
Suddenly the wolf didn't seem as threatening and appeared to the blonde more as an excited puppy. It even began to sniff him as if he were its long lost owner. It kind of tickled.
"Hahahaha,no ,no hahah stop, STOP PLEASE!" The wolf simply ignored him and continued its inspection of him. For whatever reason, after a few seconds the animal seemed satisfied that Lloyd was trustworthy and began nuzzling its muzzle against his neck. The green ninja could not stop himself from letting out a little chuckle, both from relief and the fact that the wolf was honestly kind of adorable now that it wasn't trying to rip out his throat.
Apparently the sound of his laughter was audible through the door to his and Morro's 'room' because within the next second he heard Morro's voice calling out to him.
"Hey! What's going on!?"
The wolf's head instantly shot up at the wind master's shouting and before Lloyd could stop it, the animal jumped up and all ,but threw itself against the bedroom door, and of course due to the wolf's sheer size it easily tore the door open, almost knocking it off its hinges in the process. As it bounded into the room, Lloyd followed after it with arms out reached in an attempt to catch it before the wolf did broke something again. (Most likely Morro).
The black haired boy looked as shocked as Lloyd had been when he first saw the huge creature.
"What the F**k is that?!"
"I don't know, it just got in here somehow!" Lloyd explained as he ran in front of the animal hoping to deter it from coming towards the injured wind master.
"Now, l-listen doggy you can't go near him, he's weak, c'mon you have to g-"
"Weak! Say that again you f***head!" Morro yelled, as he tried to sit his aching body up within the confines of the blanket burrito Lloyd had trapped him in earlier.
The wolf's eyes widened at the sound of Morro's voice and now seemed interested even more in making contact with the wind master. Then with amazing agility the animal jumped high above Lloyd and landed on the bed with a loud thump.
The green ninja's eyes widened as he wondered how the bed hadn't completely broken.
Morro immediately glared at the animal as it began to near him, meanwhile Lloyd tried to persuade the dog to get off the bed.
"C'mon doggy you don't want to be near him, he sucks."
"Hey! Get the f**k away!" Morro shouted at it. The wolf remained undeterred and slowly ,but surely crept towards Morro until it had him in the same position it did Lloyd not just a minute ago. Morro felt like he wanted to scream as his already sore bones were now being crushed under the weight of the giant wolf. He could do little to struggle because his body was already in enough pain as it was. Lloyd stared at the scene with frantic wide eyes unsure of what to do because the animal was so heavy he knew he couldn't lift or drag it off.
The wolf stared down at the wind master with unblinking eyes before reaching its muzzle down to rest lightly against Morro's neck. "Hey Hey you stay away from me!" Morro shouted in its face. The wind master felt as if he were about to explode as it ignored him and then gave him a big fat lick all the way from his neck up to his mouth. If Morro had had his body to its full capacity he would have drained all the air out the creature's lung in an instant. However as helpless as he was at the moment all he could do was let out a loud groan mixed of both pain and pure rage. The animal seemed to notice the wind master's distress through the sound though, and very quickly got off his broken body. Morro might have felt relief, had the wolf not then laid down right next to him and rested its large head over his neck as it cuddled against him.
Morro wished he could move his arms properly so he could strangle the animal while Lloyd let out a sigh of relief thankful the wolf did not seem to do much damage to Morro's all ,but crippled body. Still the blonde felt the need to make sure the black haired boy was alright, "Are you oka-"
" I wish I had just let Koso hit you instead." Morro said quietly with more than enough seriousness present in his tone to convince Lloyd he meant it.
ForgottenFamily
Koso wasn't quite sure how Greta knew he needed the ingredients for a healing spell, but never the less a part of him was grateful he now didn't have to make the three day long journey after all because spending more than one night sleeping on the ground was not something he enjoyed.
'So, if a threat large enough comes to Ninjago I am to release that blonde brat, hmph, guess I'll have to train him and the other one fast before that happens' He casually thought to himself as he quickly ran his way back to the cottage. When he came within sight of his humble home, he was less than pleased to find his front door had been ripped open. Then when the dark haired male stepped inside he was even less pleased to see in the distance that his kitchen looked as if it had been ransacked, with the table covered in blood and feathers and scratch markings all over the floor and walls.
'If this is the brats' doing I swear I shall pound them into next we-'
"C'mon doggy don't you want to go back outside?"
"Would you stop calling it 'doggy' you sound like a girl!"
"Oh, I,...I guess you're right Morro, maybe I should try cursing at it, maybe that will surely get it to come down!"
Koso blinked confusedly for a minute after the shouting interrupted him from his thoughts. 'Doggy? What is going on?' Acting on impulse the brother of the first spinjitzu master all ,but stormed into the two brats' room. What he saw both shocked him and made his blood boil at the same time. As Lloyd and Morro looked at the man surprised to see him, when all of the sudden they heard a low growl. Koso stared at the animal with complete contempt reflecting in his dark green eyes.
'That bloody creature! Why did it have to still be alive after all these years.'
Then all of the sudden the wolf leapt from its spot on the bed so that it stood in front of Koso, after a beat of tense silence it jumped against the black haired male landing its paws just below Koso's shoulders. The look the creature was giving him, made Lloyd feel as if the two were somehow long time rivals in another life. The green ninja could of sworn he heard Koso holding back a growl of his own.
"Alright boy." 'So its a boy dog.' Lloyd thought as Koso spoke. "You had your fun, tearing my home apart now,DOWN!" Koso commanded. The wolf reluctantly obeyed. However before Lloyd could begin to think that perhaps Koso simply had a commanding way over everyone and everything he came into contact with, the animal proceeded to latch his teeth onto the man's black bandage covered arm. While both Lloyd and Morro could not stop themselves from cringing, Koso simply stared down at the animal unflinchingly as if it were a minor annoyance
"Oh? What did you think that would hurt? Stupid beast. Let. Go." To emphasis his point he used his arm that was currently not being used as a chew toy and flicked the back of his hand against the wolf's nose. However this did not affect him enough to let go, although he did let out a small whine that once again reminded Lloyd of a small puppy. "JASPER! I mean it, or do you want to me to turn you into a mouse? Well?" This statement finally convinced 'Jasper' to let go of Koso's arm, though Lloyd could still see the hate he had for the black haired male reflected in his blue pupils.
'You and me both doggy.' The blonde thought to himself before deciding now would be a good time to question what the freak was going on.
"So,...you have a pet?"
"PET, is a very nice term for this,...annoyance." Koso explained. "To be honest I prefer to refer to him as a, pest that I now unfortunately cannot get rid of ,because the spirit of my wife would surely be devasted beyond reasonable measure and send all the divine forces of the world to reek vengeance upon me."
Both the green ninja and wind master stared shocked at the man as a single question simultaneously escape both their lips.
"YOU HAD A WIFE?!"
Dun Dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun I mean I dropped hints at it in previous chapters what with him having a daughter and all, so you guys probably already drew that conclusion already. Anyway hope you all enjoyed this let me know what you thought about this chapter in the reviews.
