Hello! Now, we have recently received many, MANY pleas to save a certain blue ninja's life. We have carefully considered these requests, and do0m and I agreed on this:
YOU GREATLY ANNOYED US! JAY WILL NOW DIE! (insert evil laugh here)
On with the chapter! And, for the record, I just wanted to have Jay die silently, like if his mouth was stitched shut or something like that and he couldn't make a sound when he died. do0m came up with this method of death.
But first:
do0m: HELLO PEOPLE FROM AUSTRALIA! Best country ever!
Me: And of course, HELLO PERSON FROM THE UK! You have the best TV network ever: BBC! HOW COME YOU GET ALL THE AWESOME SHOWS LIKE DOCTOR WHO, SHERLOCK, AND TORCHWOOD?! WHY?!
Sensei Wu looked on as his students were training. Nya had the idea of training specifically to counter Zane and his so-called 'sister'. Several targets, all moving, were set up on the deck, while the sparring robot was equipped with multiple weapons, such as throwing knives, smoke bombs, and poison spikes.
"Go!" Sensei Wu ordered.
Immediately Lloyd went to the front, letting loose a blast of green energy. He smashed a few targets, but the majority of them were left unscathed. Kai followed up with his sword, taking out two, and Jay made the rear with his nunchucks.
Now the sparing robot sprang to life, firing several knives. The ninja dodged, leaving Nya open to use her Samurai blades. They hit the robot, which slowed.
"Ninja-go!" The three ninja yelled. With that, the sparing robot was torn apart and the ninja looked at it, satisfied.
"Excellent job." Sensei Wu praised. "But be warned; I doubt our opponents will be as easily felled."
"Sensei, can I join them?" Nya asked, exiting her mech.
"Yeah, Nya's Samurai mech can take anything!" Jay said, hitting it. The mech swayed, falling over from the touch and a crunch was heard from within.
"Jay!" Nya went to her mech, sighing. "I'll need to go into Ninjago City to get it repaired."
"You're not going alone." Kai told her, arms crossed over his chest.
"Kai's got a point. What if she gets jumped?" Lloyd added.
"I'll go. It's my fault." Jay volunteered. Kai nodded, and the two set off.
Elsewhere...
Lucine's P.O.V.
I sigh, and feel Zane put his hand on her shoulder in reassurance. Right now, I dislike being in crowds; or, rather, I just dislike being around people other than Master Garmadon and Zane. Shaking off my anxiety, I continue to walk through the crowd. Master Garmadon has instructed us to wait for the proper time to ambush another of the ninja. As such, Zane has taken me to Ninjago City Square to look for them.
"Do you know where they will be?" I ask, trying to remain unnoticed.
"I suspect they will have to come here eventually, whether for food or weapons. Either way, this should be a good place to start." Zane answers. He leads me to a market and goes off to buy something. I stay against a wall, looking around.
"Oof!" A little girl runs into me. I nearly recoil; she looks very similar to me when I was her age; short brown hair, light grey eyes, and an air of innocence surrounding her. "Sorry, miss!"
Noting a ball at my feet, I gingerly pick it up and hand it to her. "Is this yours?" I ask softly.
"Yup! Thank you, miss!" The girl runs back to her mother, grabbing her mother's hand.
I feel my heart ache. I wish I could be as innocent. Sighing again, Zane walks up to me. "I spotted the ninja. We should follow."
"Of course." I whisper.
No P.O.V.
Nya went into the parts shop, going to the desk. "I need the following things as fast as possible." She handed a list to the man behind the desk.
Looking at the list, the man groaned. "These are going to take awhile to get in. Maybe in a week or so."
Nya shook her head. "We need them today. Aren't there spares in the back?"
"I suppose. I'll check, but there's no guarantee." The man went back into the shelves, and Nya looked at Jay.
"Is there anything you want to get? I'm going to be a few minutes." She told him.
Jay shrugged. "I'll get us something to eat." Pecking her cheek, Jay left the shop.
Outside, Lucine watched carefully as Jay exited. "Now."
A few minutes later, the man in the shop handed a bag of parts to Nya. "That should be it."
"Thank you." Nya paid and left, only for someone to grab her bag. "HEY- COME BACK HERE!"
"Nya?" Jay turned to find Nya running into an alley. "Nya!" He ran after her, oblivious to the two tailing figures behind him.
"Give that back!" Nya ordered. The boy holding her bag look annoyed at her, but paled at seeing the two armed figures behind her. Trembling, he dropped the bag and ran off. "Good." Nya muttered.
"Nya," Jay's mouth was covered by Zane, and his eyes widened as he began to thrash around.
"Jay? What's," Nya nearly screamed at seeing her boyfriend pinned to the wall by an angry Zane. "Let him go!"
Lucine grabbed her, forcing her to the ground via pressure point and holding her hands tightly behind her back. "Shh." She whispered soothingly. "I'm sorry."
Zane grabbed his shuriken, pointing it to Jay's chest. "Time to go." He growled. Zane drove his shuriken through Jay's lungs, and a whistle was clearly audible as Jay struggled to breathe.
"JAY!" Nya broke free of Lucine, running to Jay's dying figure. "Why? WHY?!" She cradled his head in her hands.
Crying, Jay attempted to speak, but the only sounds were his coughs and blood running into his lungs and down to the ground. His eyes slowly closed and he ceased moving. Nya sobbed, holding him closer to her. "Jay..."
Her eyes flaming with tears, Nya rose, enraged, and tried to strangle Lucine. Zane grabbed her from behind, putting his shuriken to her throat. "Shall I kill you as well?" He asked.
"No." Lucine's voice, while soft, was firm. "She will live."
Nya nearly gasped, and Zane looked surprised. "Sister, she is the fire ninja's sister. She,"
"It's not her fault she is related to a murderer. She will live." Lucine replied. Zane grunted, releasing Nya and knocking her out.
The two left, and by the time Nya awoke, the alleyway was deserted and rain was falling. She moved to Jay's body, gently touching his cheek. Beginning to sob, she kissed his forehead. "I'll kill her." She said softly. "I'll take them both out for you."
So, to clarify:
You request we save someone, we will take it under consideration, but please don't. Because it will probably just make us annoyed, and you don't want do0m annoyed.
do0m: AHEM! You don't want me CROSS! I prefer using the word 'cross' than 'annoyed'.
Me: Okay, okay, don't get do0m 'CROSS'. And don't make me annoyed either. Good-bye!
