A/N: Thank you for those you review the last chapters and please keep it up! This chapter is going to happen when they get back to the bounty. I don't really want to get into how they got back, but long story short, they got in their Ninja tank they used to get there and Zane was the only one who controlled it. I again do not own any thing from Ninjago. This chapter will be again from Jay's point of view, because, well, I like Jay.
Zane got out of the Ninja tank and walked up to and onto the bounty as Kai, Cole, and you where getting out of the tank. Zane looked like he was talking to someone as you three where getting out but you couldn't make out what he was saying, but by the sound of the voices it sounded like he was talking to Nya. As you three got closer to the bounty and started walking up the ramp you could finally hear what was going on, Zane was talking to Lloyd and Nya. When you were about half way up the ramp you saw Nya run up to the edge.
"Oh my god; Zane, you weren't lying." She said and ran down the ramp past you and Cole to Kai she started walking around Kai as he looked very uncomfortable.
"Um, hi Nya." he spoke to her looking up. Nya then crouched down in front of him and grabbed his cheeks and pulled out.
"Kai! You're adorable!"
"Ow, ow, ow, Nya! Stop that! Nya! Ow!" Kai said with his voice slurred from his cheek being pulled. Nya then let go of Kai's cheeks and Kai quickly pulled his hand up to one of his cheek and rubbed it. Nya then stood up and walked over to you.
"Hi Jay." She said to you crouching down to see your love filled eyes better. 'She looks beautiful.' Nya then kissed you on the cheek and stood back up.
"Welcome back guys. I see you three had one crazy adventure." Nya spoke to you three.
"You think?" Cole said with irritation in his voice. You then heard laughing coming from the ship and looked to see Lloyd looking down the ramp at you guys holding his sides in laughter.
"Oh my god! This is hysterical! Look who doesn't have to be bossed around anymore!" Lloyd just kept laughing and, and motion to himself, making you irritated.
"Lloyd!" All three of you yelled at him, but he just ignored you three and kept laughing. Cole then walked up the ramp, fist clenched, to Lloyd and looked up at him. 'Dang, Lloyd is even taller than us, at least he isn't that much taller.' you thought seeing Cole's height next to him. 'And Cole is the taller one of us!'
"Stop laughing Lloyd this isn't funny." Cole instructed, only to have Lloyd stop laughing, smirk, and cross his arms.
"Oh? And what will you do if I don't" Lloyd replied being cocky and raised an eyebrow followed by a snicker. You and Kai then ran up next to Cole to stand by his side and you saw that his face was turning red with anger making Lloyd snicker again. You then saw Cole get into the starting position stance of spinjitzu and you and Kai both tackled him to the ground.
"Get off of me! Let me at him!" Cole spat struggling to get free.
"Cole, control yourself!" Kai said to Cole in response, and you heard Lloyd started laughing again. Lloyd just kept laughing and you would have glared up at him but you were too busy dealing with Cole. When he was cut off however and said something else you had to look to see what was going on.
"Hey!" Lloyd whined as you looked up to see Sensei Wu pulling Lloyd off in the direction of the rooms by the ear.
"Lloyd, this is no time for fooling around." You heard Sensei tell Lloyd just before they went out of sight. You saw Zane just standing at the side watching the whole scene.
"Some help you were Zane." Kai said to Zane as he got off of Cole. You released Cole as well and Cole stood up brushing himself off after a sigh came from him.
"My greatest apologies, my calculations showed me that if I tried to intervene the situation would only get worse so I just went to get Sensei as it seemed to be the best option." Zane replied. 'At least he did something to help.' You made your signature smile at Zane at what you were thinking before you spoke.
"Man Lloyd can get annoying; at least you and Nya didn't treat us like he just did. That was like a nightmare!" You spoke, "I can kind of understand why he did what he just did now that I think about it; I mean look at how many times we told him he can't do what he wants because he has to train!"
"That is a very good explanation for all of that I guess." Cole thoughtfully replied crossing his arms.
"Yeah. Didn't he ask us if he could go out earlier today to get his comic book?" Kai asked.
"Yeah, maybe we should let him have some more free time sometimes." You recommended.
"That seems like it could be a very good idea. My analysis is that if we let him do something when he wants, he would do his training more efficiently."
"All of you could use this to your advantage to understand Lloyd better, even you Zane." You all jumped and turned around to see Sensei Wu had returned.
"I do not understand Sensei; I did not change like the rest of them. How am I supposed to connect with Lloyd better?" Zane asked.
"That is for you to figure out." Sensei replied as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
"But Sensei-" Cole started only to be cut off by Sensei Wu.
"Haven't I already told you this? Butt's are for sitting students."
"Sensei, how are we supposed to train Lloyd better if we don't even have all those rights we had before? We can't even drive him places in the ninja tank, and if we take our weapons places we might get them taken away by people because 'we are too young to be walking around with sharp weapons that can injure people'" Cole made air quotation marks around the last part and changed it to speak in a sarcastic way.
"You three can get around the same way Lloyd does and get treated the same way as him. You also have the Ultra Dragon you all can use to travel with." Sensei said taking a sip of his tea. You saw the Ultra Dragon fly over the Destiny's Bounty with a roar.
"He has a point." You spoke up, "We don't need a driver's license to ride a dragon. Lloyd can ride on it whenever he wants."
"We have already learned something about Lloyd just by coming back on this ship. We can use this to our advantage to get a better view of what it is like to be him." Kai recommended.
"Kai is correct. Also if you three ever need a guardian or are in a tight situation, Zane can help you out." Sensei Wu mentioned.
"Uggg." Cole moaned and rolled his eyes. "We do need a guardian to do things now don't we? This is going to suck!"
"No more than it does for Lloyd." Sensei replied, "Why don't you four go run off and do something else besides complain?"
"Yes Sensei." You all wined bowing at the same time and walked off to your shared room. You turned on the TV and sat on your bed to watch it. You where flipping through the channels but when you heard "There was a burglary an the Nin-" you flipped back to that channel to see a news reporter standing in front of the Ninjago City Museum of History.
"Guys you might what to watch this!" You called everyone to watch the news.
"-seum of History. One of the objects stolen, the Golden Sarcophagus, was found a couple of blocks away next to one of the many man holes in Ninjago city. Investigators have gone down to investigate, but the bones of the Grundle are nowhere to be found. There were weapons found all over the floor of the museum that are suspected to be from a fight last night. The police are currently running through the security film right now. We will be back to you in a little on the latest new on this burglary. If anyone knows anything about the burglary please call the investigators and tell them what you know. Back to yo-" You cut off the news lady as she was handing the screen off to someone else.
"Oh no! What if Garmadon was actually successful in reawakening the Grundle!"
"That is a high possibility that is what happened considering that he was successful in making you all younger." Zane agreed.
"We have to start preparing to take it down! It's probably looking for us right now!" Kai panicked. You all looked back to see the news lady was back on the TV again and was speaking.
"Someone called in and said that they saw Lord Garmadon and some Serpentine leave the museum last night. Four serpentine left shortly after Garmadon and were slithering down the street with the Golden Sarcophagus. When she looked they were running from three people dressed in ninja suits, one red, one blue, and one black. She thought they were the Ninja that have saved the city numerous times, but when she looked again they looked like they were just children! She later saw a white ninja walk out of the museum with his hood off and sparking every now and then. She said she was positive it was the ninja Zane and he looked like he was looking for something. Her wishes are to remain anonymous at this time. We have just gotten the results from the footage from the security cameras; there was a fight that broke out last night between what looked like Lord Garmadon ordering the Serpentine to fight the ninja. By the looks of it Garmadon was doing something with the bones of the Grundle, but the ninja stopping him, in the process Zane shutting down from a fall off of the Grundle skeleton. But then it seem-" The News reporter then turned around to look at the museum and the camera was shaking. "Sorry for the interruption, but there currently seems to be a shaking coming from the museum." There were then screams that could be heard from the museum and people running out of it. A person running out then stopped by the reporter and spoke quickly.
"Run! There is a monster inside of the museum!" and he then continued running and then, as the man said, a monster came bursting through the doors of the museum roaring and chasing people, the news reporter then ran and the camera remained there. The ninja could make out the monster to be looking like the shape of the skeleton from last night, the Grundle. The Grundle was running in the direction of the camera that eventually fell on its side. Soon all became dark as the Grundle's shadow fell over the camera and then the screen went fuzzy, soon to be switched back to the man that was sitting at a desk that it had been switched to before. The man then proceeded to tell people to remain calm and all these other things they should do to stay safe.
"We have to do something!" You panicked.
"Guys! The-" Nya came running in the room.
"We know!" you all replied running out of the room into the halls leading to the deck doing spinjitsu to change into you uniforms. Zane was the only one though that successfully did the spinjitsu.
"What in the world?' Kai said as he fell to the floor.
"We are too small to do spinjitsu!" Cole said getting up from the floor.
"We are so hooped!" You whined standing up. "What are we supposed to do to the Grundle jump on its back and ride it like a pony?"
"I can do spinjitsu," Lloyd surprised you as he walked up; "maybe I can go. I would probably be more useful than you guys."
"Thanks Lloyd." You, Kai, and Cole all said sarcastically.
"You're welcome!" Lloyd replied snickering.
"I don't see why he couldn't come, with figuring this whole thing out. He would probably be very helpful." Zane said.
"Wait really? I can come?" Lloyd said surprised.
"Slow down Lloyd we haven't all agreed to this yet." Cole replied.
"As much as I would like to disagree Zane is right, we could use all the help we could get, that Grundle is going to be tough to take down." Kai agreed.
"We could bring Nya with us though." You recommended.
"As I said, we could use all the help we can get, including my sister."
"Oh, ok. I'll go tell Nya then." You said running off hearing Cole say something before you left.
"I guess I have no say in this, Lloyd I coming even if I say no."
"YES!" you heard Lloyd say happily even though you were pretty far away already.
"Hey Nya! Can you suit up and come and help us defeat the Grundle?" You asked her running into the main control room.
"Yeah, I'm on it!" She said running off in the direction her room. You then walked over to the place where you leave all of your weapons and grabbed them running back to the others.
"Here, we can really use these if we can't use spinjitsu." You said dropping the weapons.
"Good thinking Jay!" Cole said.
