Chibi: Chapter two! I know I skipped around a bunch, but to write these chapters I need to rewatch Ninjago and... well... Rise of the Snakes is hard to find. So I'm working this chapter off of memory... Apologies if it's not really that long.
On With The Show~!
...
"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"...No. Yes. I don't really know."
"BUT YOU SAID-"
"I KNOW I SAID CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN WAS GOOD FOR CHARACTER BUILDING OKAY. I KNOW. IT'S A LESSON I NOW REGRET." Lloyd and I trudged up the mountain, freezing our asses off in the process. I was using my wacking stick as a walking stick, tucking Lloyd closer to keep him warm. The little blonde still shivered violently, murmuring about the ninja and revenge. I frowned and kept moving forward, not really paying attention to where I was going.
That is-
"AUUUGGGGHHHHHHHDAMMITWHATTHEHELLDIDITRIPOVER?!"
Lloyd, the little smidge that he is, pulled a lever and down I dropped, hitting my head on a few rocks along the way.
I blacked out.
...
When I woke up, there were snakes.
Big ones, little ones, and it was kind of... Well, I wanna say freaky but it was still cool. I sat up and blinked at them, my gaze darting around to find Lloyd next to what I assumed was the head honcho snake. He was in the middle of his maniacal laughter, the honcho looking a little on the dizzy side while a group of Serpentine surrounded them. After a while Lloyd stopped, ordering the snakes to pick me up. I smacked the with my stick and used said piece of wood to stand, albeit a bit wobbly.
"Now those ninja can get what's coming to them, but first..."
...
"WE STEAL ALL THE CAAANNNNNDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
I watched as he cackled evilly and briefly wondered what the fuck got into my head when I said I'd be this kid's big sister. Now, stealing from candy stores I can understand, but sadly involving ancient ground dwelling serpents wasn't the image in my head at the time. Regardless, I twirled my stick and walked around, making sure everything went off without a hitch. When the one brave villager decided to attack me because hey, this chick is tiny and probably can't fight worth a shit, I answered with a roundhouse kick to the face and began climbing to the roof of the nearby building to get a better view.
That's when the dragons came.
Fuck me.
Ninja dropped down like bosses and I leapt down from the building, landing behind them and stalking silently to see what their objective was. These were the guys who hung Lloyd up. The ones who let those villagers throw vegetables at a little-
Oh these sons of bitches are GOING DOWN.
I whistled shrilly for any nearby Serpentine to hear and walked out from my hiding place, stick twirling again. The ninja had turned and drawn their weapons on sight, positions tense and ready to go. I smiled sweetly at them. "Howdy boys. Lovely weather we're having here, eh?"
"Who are you?"
"Nova. Who are you?"
"I'm Ka-"
"He's the red ninja. We're all here to kick your ass, and the Serpentine." The black one piped up. I sucked in a breath and dug my nails into the stick, grasping it harder than before. "Or do you want to surrender?"
"Fuck you." Lightning whipped at me blindly and I sidestepped the electric attack, eyes narrowed when two of the four began to run forward with a loud battlecry. I lashed out and smacked the blue one in the face while ducking and dodging the golden sword the red one thrust at me. "Since we were so rudely interrupted, still mind telling me your name Firefly?"
"Firefly?"
"It's a start." I shrugged and swept the staff under his feet, but he jumped and dodged the attack.
"It's Kai."
"Kai... hm. I like Firefly better." I dodged another blade swipe, another lightning blast. It was when I moved forward to knock the blue one in the head that I found out I couldn't move.
And why is that?
Because someone froze my feet to the ground.
"What the fuck-" Something cracked against the back of my head and I black out again, the last thing in sight being a few of the Hypnobrai foot soldiers.
...
"They're dead."
"Nova-"
"Lloyd. They are DEAD. I HATE NINJA." I huddled into a tiny ball in the corner and sighed, listening as Lloyd and the General began making plans for a treehouse.
