Chapter 15
"AHH!"
Lucas woke up with a start after hearing the scream. He quickly got uot of the bunk he was sleeping in and did his grey spinjitzu to change into his ninja outfit with sai's drawn out. At first thought, he thought it was Lloyd who screamed to warn him of their brothers, but he still found his cousin on the top bunk, slowly waking up after he heard the scream too, and went out to inspect. Once he was outside, he scan the morning sun-lit beach to find the person who screamed and instead found a broken surfboard with a few drops of wet blood on the pieces. He walks up to inspect and turned his head to the sound of crying and see's a kid, about Lloyd's age, with legs tucked into his chest and covering his left arm. Lucas walked up to him to see if he was alright, but the kid slowly backed away from him.
"I'm not here to hurt you." he tells the kid, "I want to see if you're alright."
"I'm not," the kid sobs up, "My arm hurts and I think it's broken."
"Let me see."
The ash-blonde hair kid moved removed his right arm to show Lucas a large cut on his left forearm. Lucas softly grabs the arm and inspects it and could spot something white sticking out. Lucas knew it was the bone sticking out and this kid needed treatment, but also took this as a chance to try his new healing power.
"Lloyd, get out here and bring me my bag!" Lucas yells to his cousin.
Lucas saw a bright green light coming from the cabin and saw Lloyd coming out in his ninja outfit with Lucas's bag. Lloyd handed Lucas his bag and his eyes grew wide to the sight of the cut and bone. Lucas unzipped his bag and pulled out the rag he used on Lloyd and drew out one of his sai's.
"It's going to be alright." said Lucas, "I'm going to clean the wound and use something to stop the bleeding till you get medical attention. By the way, my name is Lucas and this is my cousin Lloyd. What's your name?"
The kid cried softly and answered with the tears choking his throat, "Ti...Timothy."
"Ok Timothy, I'm gonna try this...method, but I need yoy trust me on it. Do you trust me?"
Timothy nodded and closed his eyes.
"Ok, this may sting a little."
Lucas wiped the blade of his sai across the rag and the rag was soaked with water. He slowly places it on the wound and places a hand on top of the rag, which made Timothy yelp and more tears fell down his cheeks. Lucas concentrated on his new power till the rag began to glow the brightest hue of blue and disappeared. He removes the rag off of Timothy's arm to reveal that there was no open wound nor scar. Timothy stopped cry and gasped to see his arm wasn't bleeding. Lucas places a hand on Timothy's arm and feels around to see if it worked till he felt a bump, which made the kid yelp in pain. Lucas sighed that his power only healed the wound, but not the bone, and had to get him back to wherever he came from.
"I did the best I could," said Lucas, "But we have to get you some real treatment. Where did you come from?"
"I came from over there." Timothy replied and pointed to a shore line filled with people, "My parents own a surf shop, and I was surfing till I got caught in a riptide and found myself here."
"Well then, lets get you back home." and slings his bag over his shoulders.
Lucas picks up Timothy, bridal style, and places his good arm over his neck and looks at Lloyd.
"Get your bag and our sleep mats, then catch up with us."
Lloyd nodded and went back into the cabin. Lucas walked towards the beach and could feel Timothy shaking; possibly from shock. He hears scruffling behind him and turns to see Lloyd running up to him with his sleep mat underneath his arm. The two ninja's and surfer finally reached the beach and looked around to spot the surf shop till Timothy pointed it to him. They walked in the opened door shop and stood infront of the counter with no-one behind it.
"Timmy!" a female voice shouted.
They turned their heads to the left and stare at a woman who had the same hair color as Timothy that reached down past her shoulders and was dressed in a pink hibiscus floral sundress. She runs up to them and see's the bump on Timothy's arm.
"What happened to him!?" she asked Lucas with tears flowing down.
"We found him not to far from here and his surfboard was broken," Lucas replied, "But when we found him, he had an open wound and his arm is broke. I did the best I could to heal it, but the bone is still broken."
Lucas handed Timothy to his mother and she grabs her son from Lucas's hands and cradles him.
"Thank you." she says as tears were rolling down her cheeks and went into the back and came back a few minutes later.
"My husband is taking him to the hospital and I want to know if you're one of those ninja's that protect the city?"
"Yes ma'am we are." Lucas replied, "But right now...we got seperated and we want to know how far we are to Ninjago City."
"You're not to far from here, it's like half an hour to get there. But I want to know how you healed my son's wound not the bone."
"Well I'm the ninja of water and I recently discovered yesterday that I have this healing power when I was fixing my cousin's leg and once I cleaned it, it was gone. So long story short, I tried it on your son and manage to stop the bleeding, but couldn't fix the bone. But we must get back with the others."
The woman nodded, but stopped them before they left, "Wait."
Lucas and Lloyd turned around and looked at the woman.
"I can't thank you enough for saving my son and I must know your names."
"I'm Lucas and this is my cousin Lloyd." Lucas introduced themselves.
"Call me Melissa, and thank you so much."
"You're welcome." and they left.
They walked out of the surf shop and head towards the cabin. Once they got there, Lloyd gave his cousin a funny look on why he told him to get their belongings and they come all the way back.
"Ok, why did you tell me to gather our stuff and we come all the way back here?" he asked.
"Well Lloyd, I didn't know how far we were to the city, ok." Lucas answered, "Now that we know, we'll train for the day and prepare ourselves."
The two ninja's place their bags in the cabin, and walked out onto the beach to train. All throughout the day, Lucas and Lloyd been training at close combat, teaching Lloyd on water and how to use it as weapon or defense and to control it without it shaking or mis-shaping; and he's been improving. Lucas decided to try a way help master his new healing power without the rag he used before. He stood infront of the ocean, drew out his sai's, and brought up several orbs of water. He moves his arms in a circular motion above his head and the water responded to his movements and merged into one another to create a ring. Lucas stopped moving his arms and the water kept moving above his head, picking up speed, and blowing air into his face and hair. Lucas looks up and begins to concentrate his powers and the water bagan to glow brightly for a minute and disappeared back in the ocean. Lucas smiled for that he may have mastered his new power and went back inside with an exhausted Lloyd behind him as it was getting darker.
Once the sun setted, Lucas and Lloyd changed into their pajama's, and Lucas broke his walking stick into pieces and threw them in the fireplace. Lloyd used his fire powers to start their fire and the two ninja's ate their granola bars and warmed themselves to the fire.
"You think this healing power of yours is the cure to save everyone?" Lloyd asked.
Lucas sighed, for he figured his cousin would ask him that.
"I'm sure Lloyd." Lucas responded, "But I think it's now or never in order to save them. So tomorrow, we make our strike to destroy the venom and use this power to save them. So lets some sleep."
Lloyd nodded and lets out a yawn, got up and climbed into his bed. Lucas used his sai's to extinguish the fire and follows behind his cousin and laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. He kept hearing shifting coming from Lloyd and opens his eyes to see Lloyd's head looking at him.
"Lucas, I'm abit worried about tomorrow and a little scared, can you play your flute to help me relax?" he asked.
"Sure Lloyd." and pulls out his flute.
Lucas brought the mouth piece to his lips, closed his eyes, and began to play music. He played the same melody from the cave, because he knew it will relax his cousin. He opens one eye and see's Lloyd's eyes were drooping to the music, and lifted his head back to his bed and didn't hear any shifting coming from him. Lucas stopped playing his flute as he knew Lloyd would be asleep soon, places his flute back in his bag, and laid back on his bed and closed his eyes. He began to wonder if they did find the cure and hoped it will work to save his brothers. And since he has the green ninja with him, his powers could help him to make the healing power be strong to hopefully cure them. He clears his head to ocean music it played to him and drifted into slumber.
