(*Sighs in relief* I just have 2 more weeks of school then I'm finally free. He's the new chapter everyone, sorry if I was out for so VERY long, had to get my school work done and dear god it was like hell... But enjoy the story!)
(Maddie's POV:)
(3 or 5 weeks later...)
"Ready?" I asked gripping on EJ's left hand of support and his dad holding his right. The new ninja of lighting nodded as a response and his slowly and tremblingly started to stand.
"Go EJ!" I know you can do it!" Annabeth cheered, raising a fist to the warm air. I felt that I was teaching a baby how to walk, but it turns out that I'm teaching a 18-year-old teenager how to walk! EJ took his first step and his face cringed. "It hurts?" Jay asks. EJ shook his head, "n-No, I'm fine. Just I was stuck in bed for 3 weeks so my feet are a little weak..." he replied and brought his left foot in front.
His hands were so clammy, I guess this is his first time holding a girl's hand... I think. Then I felt his palm brush away from mine, I paused when I glance my eyes back our new member of the team; both of his hands were not supported. His took another step and stood up straighter. "I don't need any help anymore you guys." he said and stand perfectly still when the suns ray's hit him. EJ inhaled and let out a big sigh... "It's been so long I haven't seen you sun..." He muttered as he absorbed the sunlight.
I couldn't help but smile, he's happy again... As the others came around EJ, I quietly slipped out of the room. The creaks of the wooden floor follow my as I reached to my shared bed room with my four teachers. Of course, the door creaked when I opened it. If you were in first person view (Like me), Annabeth and Tiana's beds would come to your view first; a dresser including a big mirror, filled with perfumes, hair brushes and make up was next to the kunoichi's bunk bed. Annabeth's posters of boy bands were taped on the dresser, Tiana's jewelry box (Covered in little rubies) sitting on the left edge it. On the east side of the room, they lied Ben and Roy's bunk bed.
Both of the boy's beds were neatly made, but I thought boys were messy when they reach up to their teens. Of course there was a dresser like the girls but it was filled with cologne and some tools (Probably Roy's). And lastly, there was my space... In the space the middle of the beds, there was my bed. I didn't like that spot, I was begging Annabeth and Tiana's mothers to get me another room. But still, they won't even listen to me.
'I better change to my ninja uniform, I know that Jay asked me to teach EJ how to control his powers now that he's all better...' I thought walking to the girl's closet and opened it, reviling a variety of clothes and weapons. I grabbed my same normal tank top with a scar on its front, yellow shorts, knee guards... Black boots, the grasshopper green skirt like cape and lastly, my detached matching green sleeves.
I gathered them into a pile and went to the bathroom. Placing the pile of clothes on the white tile floor, I slowly disrobed...
The bathroom was kinda small what the others say, but I say it's pretty big. A shower on the right corner, toilet next to it, and a gleaming white sink by the left side of the shower stall. By the left corner was a big woven basket that looks like the size of a trash can. As I was done changing to my ninja suit, I put my earlier clothes in there.
But for all the tasks I completed this morning, there was one task I didn't solve yet...
"Watashi wa anata o aishite..."
What EJ whispered to me after his arm was wounded... It still haunts me... Probably one of those nerdy languages that he uses with his friends or something. *sigh* Oh well, the past is the past...
I walked back up to the wide open deck of the Destiny's Bounty; sunny, bright blue sky, clouds here and there... A perfect day to train. EJ was leaning on the big mass, looking at a gear. He brought it up to the sunlight. "Mmm... Gear no. 27, calibration: A gear for a grandfather clock..." He muttered as he trace his finger to the teeth of the gear. All I can do is silently watch him examine the object, so smart... But yet, kind. "Oh cool! Both of you kids are here, good!" I turned my head behind me. Jay stood there with big yet, child-like blue eyes were locked on mine, a big grin on his face. he was in his matching outfit just like Sensei Kai's but with some parts of his gi was blue and silver, not red and gold. "Ready to begin you training as a ninja kiddo?" He questions, cracking his knuckles.
EJ knitted his eyebrows. "You mean now?"
"YES!" Jay exclaimed raising up an excited fist. No wonder he's the kid around here. "Well... Alright." Jay told the both of us to be together, but spread apart. "Now, lightning is a bit harder to control on the first day, but don't worry. I'm gonna teach you how to control it the easy way..." Jay said in a calm voice. He hid his right arm behind his back and pressed two fingers on his heart. "Lightning is energy and energy can be used to control a power, or to create something."
Soon his two fingers on his heart began to flicker to a light blue aura... I can tell that EJ was astonished by the look in his eyes. Jay pulled back his flickering arm back; he shifted his stance. "What's VERY important is where your aiming. If you don't have something to get your eyes lock on, you'll end up with a fried up body.."
The ninja of lightning shot out his bolt, EJ and I dodged the attack.
ZAP!
Jay's lightning bolt hit the wooden dummy on the chest, it exploded with fire. "AHHH! QUICK! SOMEBODY GET WATER OR TIANA OR SOMETHING!" EJ panicked and started running around like helpless child. As if on que, a hiss from a put out fire was in the clear air. I turned my head to the left; it wasn't Tiana, it was Zane. He was holding a bucket dripping with small droplets of water in one hand. "Phew! That was close! Thanks Zane!" EJ said in relief.
Zane blinked, "My sensors sensed burning in the air and I knew it all started with Jay." The ninja of lightning chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head. "Hehehehehe, my bad." Zane left without a trace. Wow, what a weird robot he is...
"Ahem!"
Our gazes go back to our teacher. "Maddie, how about you show EJ what you got." I gave Sensei Jay a nod and pressed my two left fingers on my heart; closing my eyes...
'Okay Mads, don't screw this up. You're demonstrating a move that a friend of yours already done...'
I reopened my eyes again, seeing my two fingers were flickering with a light blue aura... I raised the fingers in the air; though the sun's ray's was mostly covering the electrified fingers. Pulling back my left arms back and started back at EJ, looking at me back. I turn my head to the bright blue sky... There! I thrust my left arm forward to the sky...
CRACK!
The lightning bolt shot out out of my fingers, crackling the sky, the bolt is more brighter than the sun in my taste. "Okay, okay, I think I can out match that bolt." said EJ and pushed me back. He clapped his hands together and rubbed it. "Now watch the master do his magic..." EJ raised two fingers in the air then maneuvered the hand in circles... What the hell is he doing? He was moving so fast that I lost track of his hand! "EJ! Wait-!" I heard Jay from behind.
But it was already to late... I watch the teenaged boy with purple eyes and jet black hair launched his bolt to the unexpected, walking, Sensei Kai...
"What the-?!"
ZAP!
Sensei Kai shreiked and got out of the way just in time. And again, EJ began to apologize in a WORRIED voice. "Ohmygosh, ohmygosh! I'm SO sorry Uncle Kai!" He cried and bowed in front of him multiple times. Sensei Kai cursed lowly in Japanese, "It's alright EJ." he said and got up. "You should blame your father instead of yourself."
EJ glared back at his dad, as if he was gonna shock him too. "Dad..." he grumbled lowly. Sensei jay gulped and waved his hands with an innocent look. "Hey, hey, lets not get hasty about this!"
*sigh* Looks like EJ's training will be more longer than mine...
No one's POV:
(Somewhere in the Ninjago History Museum...)
Jikan swallowed down his last victim's soul down his throat. He let out a large sigh of bliss. "That was a delicious supper... Now." He gripped on the sliver head dragon, swiveling around the stick. "Where is that Unknown Warrior..."
Ancient models and statues watching his every move as Jikan walked through the dark hallways of the empty museum. He came across a giant whole that were blocked by yellow tapes in black bolded letters:
DO NOT PASS
Jikan rolled his pure silver eyes. and uncapped the silver head dragon off the walking stick; reviling a normal blade of a sword, but a little thinner. With his other hand holding the scabbard and one hand griping on the sword cane tightly. With one little swing in the air, the yellow tape were cut to millions of pieces.
Small bits of the tape were dancing in the air. The man let out a huff and tucked back his sword to the scabbard, looking his regular, silver-headed dragon cane.
Jikan looked down at the giant, pitch black hole in front of him. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes...
He slowly raised his right hand to the air as the hand began to glow in a blue-green aura along with his eyes glowing the same color.
The dark hole began to glow too, the light became brighter and brighter as it came close to Jikan. He flicked his glowing hand and what shot out of the black hole was a man wearing a brown business suit, framed glasses, some streaks of black and white hair; his body surrounded with the odd glow. The man's mouth shaped of a O, eyes wide in surprise that someone has finally rescued him from his doom.
Jikan softly lowered the man down; the glow disappeared around him. "M-Master!" He cried and bowed his head multiple times. Jikan smiled softly at the glasses wearing man. "Joseph, it is very wonderful to see you once again. It felt it has been exactly a decade since we last met."
Joseph nodded and got back to his feet. " Aye, it seems, but I have news that you must know right away..."
Jikan frowned and furrowed his blond/gray eye brows. "Hmmm... Please tell."
"It's... It's the Kage ryū, I have finally called it from it's hiding..." Joseph answered with a creepy smile.
The air fell silent after what the museum's manager said. Jikan started to laugh evilly; his cruel laugh bouncing off the marble walls around him. "Fufufufufu, if the Kage ryū is here, than the other two are here. I haven't seen them for years, oh how I missed them so much!"
Jikan banged the floor with his cane, sending a wave of rumbling underneath the two men.
"Now Joseph," The old man asked quietly,
"Where is my Unknown Army?"
(OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH SSSSHHHHEEEIIIITTT! My god, it really HAS been a long time since I posted a chapter! But, at least I got it done before I'm done with school. *Falls silent and turns head to the opposite way* I feel... I feel like something is not right... I don't know why, but it feels like something is wrong with... Me... *sighs* Questions will come and go as I live, but there are some I haven't answered yet... *gives a friendly grin* But you least have to enjoy life? Right? See ya all next chapter!)
