A/N: Hey there! Ok, time to check out Darkly's School for Bad Boys! Yeah!
Ok, now that I am over my hyper-spell (I think?) I shall turn my attention over to the actual story. *folds arms in a reverence manner….gets distracted by black and white stray cat* *Kitty!*

Chapter Three: Hey look! Evil Twins!
I folded my arms across my chest as I watched the kid train with Jay. He was given the task to light up a light bulb, which was not screwed into a socket. Lloyd bit his bottom lip, concentrating very hard on what he was doing. I glanced to the side to check on the broom and dustpan, making sure that we didn't forget those at the apartment. Dareth was also watching the training with his students. Though, he was doing it out of curiosity and not out of he's a teacher too, like I was. A loud explosion caught my attention as the light bulb responded to too much power being shoved into it. I grabbed the broom and hurried over there, quickly sweeping the glass up. Lloyd sighed as he walked over to a bench, sitting down hard.
"I'll never get this down!"
Sensei walked over, placing a hand on his shoulder. "It is alright Lloyd. You did wonderful considering where you're coming from."
I blinked as I realized that Sensei was referring to the fact Lloyd had been trying to follow his father's footsteps up until just a few weeks ago, when we found out that he was the green ninja. Before I could say anything though, the door swung open as Nya walked into the dojo. Now something else that has changed recently, not only are we next door neighbors with her, but our mailman quite on us. Nya, bless her heart, volunteers her own free time to go collect our mail from the post office and act as our mailman. Let's just say Jay and I both cross our fingers that we have mail everyday…for different reasons, though both reasons do deal with her. She also works at an autobody shop, where she works on the Ultra Sonic Raider in her down time.
Nya smiled as she waved a single envelope into the air. "I have mail for Lloyd! Sorry guys."
"N..n..n..n..no problem, Nya! Umm, how's the uh, Ultra Sonic Raider, umm, coming along?" Jay somehow managed to stutter out.
Nya shrugged half-heartedly. "If you like, you can swing by the shop to check on it." Jay nodded quickly, perking up at the idea of seeing Nya at work. "Man, you guys are lucky."
Cole picked up a box full of light bulbs, his one eyebrow immediately shooting upwards. "Why's that?"
Nya handed Lloyd his letter, amusement dancing in her eyes. "I don't think my older brother can find any complaints about you guys. Unless he can and hasn't said anything yet."
Thud. Cole had somehow managed to drop the box on Jay's foot. "You have an older brother?!"
Nya rolled her eyes. "Yes. And before you ask, he is the kind of brother that, when I was six, we found out that one of the neighbor boys had a crush on me. Idiot chased the poor boy off, claimed he wasn't good enough for me. Just about all the guys back home are nervous about approaching me in any way, shape or form. All cause he just has to protect me." Nya wryly shook her head, amusement dancing in her eyes.
I quickly bit back a groan. I remember quite clearly what she was talking about. She tried drowning me afterwards. Hey! At least our mother stopped her. "He'll have a hard time finding something to complain about us." And by us, I mean my brothers. They're all perfect for her.
She rolled her eyes, knowing quite well what I really meant by that statement. I was about to respond to her eye roll, when she suddenly waved at all of us. "I have to get back to work. Bye guys!"
"Bye Nya!" I seriously hope her boss and coworkers, and customers!, are treating her like the special lady she is… ok, maybe I am a bit too protective when it comes to guys and my little sis. But, hey! I'm older; I get the right to be protective.
Zane suddenly cleared his throat, drawing all of our attentions. He was standing next to Lloyd, holding the kid's letter. "Excuse me…but according to this, Darkly's School for Bad Boys as been moved by Lloyd's change, and as now been changed to Darkly's School for Great Children. They want to present Lloyd with an honorary award of excellence."
Jay immediately grinned like a maniac. "That is soo cool! Just think Lloyd! This is before the final battle! Afterwards there would be soo much going on! All kinds of awards! And you get a fan club!"
Cole hurriedly clapped a hand over his mouth, annoyance briefly flashing across his face. "Ok then. Looks like the ninja are headed back to school!"
…
I looked over the boarding school that reared up in front of us. It looked the same like last time we were here, like it was Darkly's school. A small boy in the school uniform was watering the plants next to the school gate. Upon noticing us, he broke out in a warm smile. "Welcome to Darkly's School for Great Children! My name is Brad Tudabone, may I please aide you with finding the principal's office?"
Cole nodded his head yes, a polite smile crossing his face. "Sure thing kid. That would be much appreciated."
With that said, Brad led us inside. Immediately, I noticed something was off. Really off to be more precise. "Hey, Brad? Where is everyone?"
"Today's Ninja day. Everyone is hiding in honor of the ninja." Brad cheerfully answered as he opened the door to a rather dark office. "Principal Noble is right inside." As he spoke, a dark figure sitting behind a desk moved gesturing for us to come in.
"Come on in Ninja! I really would love to meet the heroes of Ninjago!" Was that sarcasm I was hearing?
Shrugging, Cole walked inside, Jay and Zane right behind him. Lloyd nearly on top of their heels. Frowning, I followed after them, the back of my neck prickling with unease. I had a really bad feeling about this. My trepidation about entering the room proved correct when several sandbags suddenly fell on top of us, knocking us out. A panicked thought of 'Nya' flashed across my mind right before everything went dark.
…
Kai!? Kai?! KAI?! Where are you!?
Wha… Lloyd's old school. Ugh, my head hurts.
Why does your head hurt? No, don't answer that. Jay is acting weird today.
What do you mean? Hold on one second. I grimaced as I dropped out of the connection, to find myself sitting in what appeared to be a dusty old library. My brothers, minus Lloyd, were sitting around me, as well as what appeared to be the school's staff. I gritted my teeth together to stop my pounding headache as I reached back out to her. When did you notice Jay was acting weird again?
Two minutes ago. It's the whole reason why I've been calling you for the past two minutes!
Wait. We, as in all five of us, were still unconscious at that time…here at Lloyd's old school. We are teaching Lloyd the art of walking into traps.
Kai. I know that is not an actual lesson. Do I even want to know what's going on?
Probably not. I'm gonna double check to see if anyone knows if Jay has a brother or not. Then locate the fake and punch him in the face. Think Sensei would mind if I use my true potential to do so?
Kai, DO NOT get yourself in trouble. Besides, only Lloyd will understand how you got this information.
The others could have asked him already…
I asked Zane, and he says that they unanimously voted against asking Lloyd.
In that case, I won't ask them. Man, the onetime our captors decide to keep us away from him…wonder which room they're keeping Lloyd in?
Wait a minute… Kai!
I quickly dropped out again, to find Zane pressing a makeshift ice pack against my head. Jay and Cole both were holding their own makeshift ice packs to their own heads, grimacing from the headaches that we all had from being knocked out. "Thanks Zane. We need to find a way out of here. Does anyone know what is going on here, anyways?"
One of the professors nodded his head. "Yes, we're the new teachers in charge of changing the school to a school to correct bad children's behaviors into good behaviors, instead of encouraging the bad ones. Only when we tried to change the school regime, the students rebelled and locked us in here. They came up with an award idea to lure Lloyd in." He takes a deep, almost shaky breath. "They want him to be their leader. They believe he is still bad deep down."
I clenched my fist, scanning the walls for a way out. "We have to get out of here. I have a really bad feeling about this."
Zane shot me a funny look, as if he sensed I knew more than what I was letting on. Ok, so I was withholding the fact someone had tried to pass themselves off as Jay…and apparently the only reason it didn't work was because he didn't quite act like him. I still wasn't about to let this information become a known fact, unless he tries framing Jay for robbing a bank or something.
"This school was built for evil geniuses. Should there not be secret passageways in the rooms then?" Zane turned his attention back to the problem at hand.
"We don't know. We're new here!" Another professor whined, worry creasing her brow.
Shaking my head, I quickly started looking for any passageways that would lead us out of there.
…
Navigating a pitch black tunnel with only Zane's glowing head, which apparently the staff was not expecting, for light, was not on my bucket list. Pretty sure no one had that on their bucket list.
"Sweet! I can cross something off my bucket list!" Scratch that. Jay has certainly proven multiple times that his bucket list is really strange. Every time we activated a booby-trap in our prison, he announced that being caught in said booby-trap was on his bucket list. We activated seven different traps, each one deadlier than the last.
"Jay! I am highly concerned about this bucket list that you have!" Cole snapped from where he was trotting on Zane's heels. Apparently mister fearless is terrified of the dark. I shook my head at my brothers, wondering if we were going to learn anything else about each other on this little adventure.
Zane suddenly stopped walking, making the rest of us to crash right into either him, or each other. "We have arrived at a dead end. My scanners indicate that there should be a door in front of us. Shall I attempt to open it?"
Cole whacked Zane on top of his head. "Dude! Don't ask that, and open it already!"
Zane opened the door to reveal that we were now inside of one of the lockers. I tensed as I noticed the small size of the locker. Next thing I know, Cole was opening the locker door, while saying something about someone hyperventilating. It wasn't until Zane carried me out that I realized I was the one hyperventilating. Gasping, I struggled to get more air down, gulping in deep breaths.
Zane knelt next to me, worry dancing in his eyes. "Kai? You need to breathe, ok? Just in and out. In and out." Pause, then. "Are you ok?"
I nodded my head, puzzled about what just happened. "What…what happened?"
Cole placed a hand on my shoulder, a wry smile on his face, though worry creased his brow. "You kinda freaked out back there. My guess is that you have claustrophobia."
I swallowed hard at that. Panicking because of small spaces was not a good idea… especially when there is a potential threat against Jay doing who knows what. Standing up, I turned around and nearly froze again. Because right there in front of us was, well, us. Only they were wearing dark sunglasses, covering their eyes. Cracking their knuckles they smirked as they watched us gather our bearings.
Evil Cole suddenly stepped forward, his smirk deepening. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? I believe Lord Garmadon has a message for you four…" Alarm shot through me as I realize that they are working for Garmadon. Before I could think of a response to that revelation, they leapt at us, forcing us into our defensive positions.
This might take awhile.
…
I nearly tripped over myself when the students appeared dressed as us. They quickly tackled our evil selves down, pinning them. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Jay who took the chance to punch his evil twin…who may have made the mistake of announcing that he had kissed Nya. I allowed a satisfied smile to cross my face, which grew wider when Evil Jay turned to dust. Whipping around, I aimed to knock Evil Kai out of business. Maybe this won't take that long with the kids.
"Ugh! The kids are confusing me!" Jay suddenly cried out as he barely missed a kid.
Cole dodged around two more kids, quickly tackling his evil self to the ground. Evil Cole poofed into dust immediately. "Yeah, but they're also confusing the doppelgangers!"
Doppelwhat? Shaking my head, I quickly finished off Evil Kai swiftly.
Within seconds, the hallway was cleared out, and the staff came out of the locker. Smiling, Principal Noble declared that even though they should punish the students, in honor of them turning good, they will be throwing them a party instead.
"Will there be cake?" Cole asked as his stomach growled loudly.
We all burst out laughing at that, smiles all around.
…
I leaned back in the passenger seat of the Ultra Sonic Raider which our evil twins…or is it triplet in my case?, had stolen. We were headed back to return it to Nya, and tell Sensei all that happened today.
Zane suddenly spoke up, alarm edging his voice. "Someone is trying to contact us."
Frowning, I flicked the communications open. Immediately, a video picture of Garmadon filled the screen. Wonderful.
"Just cause you won today does not mean you will win tomorrow. I will destr…" Static quickly caught him off, ending the rant.
"It appears to be that the Ultra Sonic Raider is still broken." Zane pushed a couple of buttons trying to repair the connection.
"It's not broken. I just thought you wouldn't want to listen to him plot out your destruction…also he was disrupting my game that I'm playing." Lloyd spoke up from the back seat.
Cole immediately twisted around in his seat to look back at him. "What game!?"
Lloyd didn't answer, choosing to hum a response instead.
Wonderful. At least we learned new, uh, interesting things about Cole, Jay, and I today. School does that.
A/N: Done! And seriously? Do we still say Kai had an evil twin if He and Nya are twins? Or is it evil triplet cause they're both good? By the way…Jay is not in the Ultra Sonic Raider with the others, he is flying the UltraDragon home.
Till next time!
