Sorry I haven't updated in over a week, was at the beach for a friend's birthday. I got sunburn on my right foot and left shoulder. I don't know how the heck that happened, but it did.
Also if you didn't see the new episodes of Ninjago on Sunday I feel really bad for you because they were AMAZING. Holy crap I cried three different times within the hour, it was such an emotional roller coaster this week. I'm pretty sure Cartoon Network is replaying the two new episodes on Thursday at either 5 PM or 6 PM, so if you were planning on watching them, this is your chance!
Anyway... on with the story!
Kai's P.O.V.
Everyone gathered in the living room, and Lloyd explained the situation to the kids. He also gave them a brief history lesson about our ninja days, and even how we trained our wives to fight alongside us. It took a while for all this to sink in, but I could tell they all quickly recognized how we tried to protect them from our past, and didn't hold it against us.
The ninja and I pulled out six of the kids to become ninja. Lloyd was unsure which of the twins had inherited his special green ninja powers, and needed to train both until he discovered which it was. Besides that, Toby became the black ninja of earth, Tyler became the white ninja of ice, Brian became the blue ninja of lightning, and Joey became the red ninja of fire. I really hope nothing happens to Joey during all this. If it did... I don't even wanna think about it.
The females all stayed in the living room, while the guys all headed into the basement to begin training.
"Hey, Lloyd," Tyler said, "why can't Sensei Wu or Garmadon train us? Or even Misako?"
Us adults got realllly quiet when their names were brought up. I thought Lloyd was going to destroy Tyler for bringing up such an emotional topic, but then again, Tyler was always the disrespectful one. Even with amazing parents Amanda and Zane.
Lloyd simply sad quietly, "Because they're dead."
The kids got quiet as well, and bowed their heads in respect. Except that little shit Tyler. "Heh, figures. Must not have been great teachers anyway, since you guys kinda suck-"
"Tyler!" Zane shouted in shock. I don't know why he was shocked. His kid is a royal asshole, and no one seems to be able to stop him.
Tyler grinned at him innocently. "So are we gonna just chill here all day? Cuz I got a date with those hot twins across the street tonight, so I don't got all day."
The ninja and I simultaneously sighed, and took our sons to train them individually.
After a while, I noticed that Lloyd was struggling with his sons. "Hey Lloyd! Why don't you just call up your brother Derek and ask him to help you? Isn't he able to tell who has elemental powers?"
"I haven't heard from him lately. He rarely answers my calls, so I gave up on calling. Besides, if he wanted to talk to me, he'd come find me. He knows where I live."
I heard Joey drop the sword he was holding, and turned around to see his face deathly pale. Before I could ask what was wrong, he said, "I heard him."
By now, everyone had turned to see what was going on. Zane squatted down in front of him and tried to calm him down. Joey looked like he was having a frickin panic attack.
Finally, Joey spoke again. "After they took Mom, I heard him. Derek. He said 'The kids are behind the bookcase. Get them.'"
"Are you sure it was him?" I asked. Joey nodded.
There was a pause, then Brian spoke up. "Well that's just wonderful! Derek is an amazing fighter! I mean, we've all seen him battle of crooks when he joined the police force. And he's in control of the Serpentine?! That's even worse, considering you guys were NINJA and you couldn't defeat them. How are we gonna be able to beat them?! Oh, hehe, no offense..." As you can see, Brian (like his father) LOVED to listen to himself talk. In fact, Jay and Nya's kids were spitting images of the couple: Brian was exactly like Jay, and Jessica was exactly like Nya. Except they weren't hopelessly in love with each other. That would just be weird.
Cole, Zane, Lloyd, and I all noticed how Brian sounded EXACTLY like Jay whenever our situation seemed hopeless back in our ninja days, and burst out laughing. Jay stared at us and kept asking "What's so funny?", which only made us laugh harder.
Stephanie's P.O.V.
We all heard the boys laughing in the basement. "Yes, of course, because goofing off is totally the way to train kids with zero fighting experience to battle the Serpentine army," Aunt Melissa said, rolling her eyes. I giggled at her sarcasm.
Aunt Nya stood up. "Ya know what? I still have something from our fighting days that might be of use to us now."
Aunt Amanda looked at her. "What is it?"
Aunt Kru: "You don't mean-"
"Yep," Aunt Nya replied. "My Samurai X suit."
We went to Aunt Nya's house to find her suit thingy. It was getting dark out, so Jess let me hold her hand. Jess is really nice to me.
Aunt Nya went into her closet and in the back there was a fancy red helmet. She pulled it out and gave it to Jess to put on.
"Wait, you want me to be Samurai X?!" she said.
"Why not? The guys are bringing back the ninja, why not bring back Samurai X as well?"
Jess sighed. "Alright. Why not?" She took the helmet and Aunt Nya led everyone into the backyard. Jess put the helmet on, and Aunt Nya showed her how to call the suit thingy to her. Suddenly we saw it flying through the air and landing on the ground in front of us. It was really cool! Aunt Nya showed Jess the controls. She got them, but they seemed really hard to me, so it's a good thing I wasn't the new Samurai X.
Out of nowhere we heard glass breaking. "Nya, I think someone just broke into your house..." Aunt Kru whispered.
"It's Serpentine. I just saw one of their tails," Aunt Melissa said.
We stood in silence for a couple seconds, and I heard those scratchy voices from last night coming from inside the house. "Quick! I ssssee people in the backyard!"
"Who isss it?"
"There are a bunch of girlssss out there. It ssseemss to be the wivesss of the ninja."
Then there was that one voice that sounded like Derek's but I hope it wasn't his because I like Derek. "What are you dumbasses waiting for?! Get them already!" That wasn't a very nice word to use, sir.
Jess stepped forward in the Samurai suit. "Let's test this thing out," she said calmly.
"Does it even work?" Aunt Nya asked. "I haven't charged it in ages! If only Jay were here, he could use his lightning to charge the batteries real quick..."
Jess put her hands on the controls and suddenly blue lightning came out of here fingertips and into the suit! It was only a little, but it was obviously enough to charge the suit.
"How did you-" Aunt Nya's words were cut off by Serpentine breaking down the door and flooding into the backyard.
"Everyone grab onto the suit!" Jess yelled. We did, and Aunt Kru held onto me just in case. Then Jess flew up into the sky, but one snake grabbed my leg. I screamed really loud, and on reflex, I tried to punch it. Instead of punching it, though, a little flame shot out of my hand and hit him in the face!
Aunt Kru looked just as shocked as I did. As Jess flew the Samurai suit back to Uncle Lloyd's house, I heard Aunt Nya mutter "Lloyd's got some explaining to do..."
I feel like this chapter is short. Oh well.
So what happened with Jessica and Stephanie right there? Lloyd said only the OLDEST MALE would have powers... Did he lie?
Find out next chapter! Also please review and I'll love ya lots 3
